The Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (French: Institut de hautes études internationales et du développement, abbreviated IHEID), commonly referred to as the Geneva Graduate Institute, is a postgraduate research university in Geneva, Switzerland dedicated to international relations, development studies, and global governance. Founded in 1927 by two senior League of Nations officials, the Geneva Graduate Institute was the world's first graduate school dedicated solely to the study of international affairs. With the Maison de la Paix acting as its primary campus, the Institute is located blocks from the United Nations Office at Geneva, the International Labour Organization, the World Trade Organization, World Health Organization, the International Committee of the Red Cross, the World Intellectual Property Organization and many other international organisations. Today, the institute enrolls around a thousand graduate students from more than 100 countries, nearly 90% of whom are foreign-born. It is officially a bilingual English-French institution, although most classes are in English.
