Diversity is one of ISS’s strongest assets. Studying alongside peers from all over the world is personally enriching and creates a space of academic challenge.

ISS is a small university, but this allows the connection to different people easily and through different research, teaching, and personal initiatives.

ISS has people from all across the world, every single continent. In one class you can have someone from Ukraine, Myanmar, Kenya and the United States.

What I value most about studying at the ISS is its critical approach to development studies.
The courses encourage in-depth discussions on essential topics.

I am surrounded by people from all over the world at all different ages, each bringing their own experiences, perspectives, and already established expertise.

Learning from diverse classmates, researchers, and activists has enriched my understanding. ISS challenges me to see problems from multiple angles.

My major, Governance and Development Policy emphasizes connecting theory with practice.
