Master of International Trade & Finance (MITF)
Program Overview
The newest master’s program offered by IIG in response to the growing demand for a combination of specializations in International Trade and Finance. This increased demand was called for by the international employment sectors and students who want to pursue and progress in their careers at international trade organizations, diplomatic services, chambers of commerce, and the financial sectors.
The MITF provides a comprehensive introduction to practical aspects of successful Trade & Investment Promotion, Corporate Governance and International Negotiations, Risk Management, Financial Accounting, and Project Management. It includes visits to major international trade and financial organizations in Switzerland. It offers access to a career counselor for personalized advice, job search support, and coaching.
Students can pursue a second degree at Boston University on campus or online in a shortened time frame upon successfully completing the (IIG) master’s degree (extra cost).

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to all the most common questions about International Institute in Geneva.
What is the age limit to apply for a master's degree?
Unfortunately, due to Swiss regulations, non-EU citizens over the age of 30 are not eligible for a student visa and therefore won’t be able to join the classes on campus. This rule is provided by the Swiss government, NOT by the institute. However, our Masters may be followed online except during exam weeks (January and May): evening classes, CET. We encourage you to consider this option.
Do I need an English Proficiency test?
The English proficiency is waived for native speakers and for those who studied in English previously.
Is there any student residency?
A range of student housing is available in Geneva, from small and exclusive apartments to large residences, featuring their own facilities such as restaurants and study rooms. You have two choices: either you apply through the Institute for the residences below: Cité Vieusseux. Montbrillant, Studhome, Carlton, and Rothschild student residence.
Does IIG help in the Visa application process?
Our Student Service department is ensuring a smooth visa application process by keeping in touch with the student and the Office of Migration.
Do you offer scholarships?
We offer scholarships with up to 30 % off the tuition fees for students who achieve a high GPA. You will be required to work 4 hours a week in the Institute. To be considered, applicants must have a high GPA, have recently completed their secondary/ undergraduate education, and have serious financial difficulties. You can apply for a Scholarship by writing a request letter to be sent with your Application Form and Application file.
