Durian

Hi mych! Thank you so much for your answer! I am not malaysian, but I've eaten a lot of durian in Asia;) I was thinking that since we are not part of the EEE, we were not eligible for the "Financial Assistance from Sciences Po", but if you asked them directly it should be okay. That's a great news, I am gonna apply then! As for the canton financial aid, I am not sure they can help me since they refused me a scholarship this year, but I am gonna go to talk with them and see what's possible. Thanks for your advices!!

Hey everyone! I just discovered this very useful forum and I was wondering if anyone could give me some advices : I applied to the MDEV at IHEID and to the double degree "International relations and sustainable development" (with International Development as my specialization) at SciencesPo and Beijing University, and got into both. I lived most of my life in Geneva and would be very delighted to leave it, but SciencesPo is really expensive and I can not get any scholarship as a swiss citizen. However, if I stay in Geneva, IHEID is quite cheap, I can get a scholarship and it might be easier to get good internships than in Paris. Regarding the reputation of both programs/universities and the difference of costs, what would you suggest me? And considering the fact that I want to work for an IO or an NGO, do you think that IHEID might be better? Beside that, it might be a stupid question, but if I want to work in the development field, would it be a disadvantage if the title of my master degree is not "development studies" (even if actually the program at SciencesPo is not that much about sustainable development and I can choose a specialization in international development). Thank you in advance and congratulation to all who have been accepted to the program they applied!
