Geneva is home to the headquarters special agencies of the United Nations and serves as the organizations European headquarters. It also hosts a very large number of non-government organizations. Students will witness the workings of these important institutions in the heart of Europe during a three week intensive international organisations course. Classes are presented by experts in the international law area from specialised agencies and some are held at the Institut Universitaire des Hautes Etudes Internationales, right next to the Headquarters of the WTO. All classes and visits are conducted in English and a knowledge of French is not required.

The program is scheduled to run from 24 January to 14 February 2009. Course activities will as far as possible be arranged over 4-day periods, enabling participants to take advantage of extended weekends to explore Geneva and beyond. As one of the most central locations in Europe, Geneva has easy access to France, Italy and world-renowned Alpine areas and ski fields.

A $1,200 non-competitive travel grant will be given to ANU students who accept their offer to participate in the program.
