The Duke Global Policy (DGP) Program in Geneva is a one-of-a-kind experience that prepares graduate and professional students from around the world to tackle the world’s most pressing policy challenges.
Option 1: Intensive Course Week
Focus options: Global Health or Humanitarian Crises, Refugees, and Human Rights.
Students learn how international and non-governmental organizations in Geneva are addressing today’s global challenges.
Meet with practitioners, visit Geneva-based IGOs and NGOs, attend networking events, gain professional coaching, join group case simulations, write a policy memo. It’s a rigorous week that shapes students’ professional and personal ambitions.

The intensive course-week was one of my best decisions at Duke University. I got to interact with students with similar interests across not only Duke but also other colleges in the U.S. The presentations by development practitioners in Geneva were top-notch. It's amazing to see that we got so much done in just five days! That says a lot about design of the program - impeccable! I highly recommend it to anyone interested in international development/global policy and looking for an insight into what is happening in Geneva. - Monisha Eadala, MIDP '20
