Over the last few years, we at the Geneva School of Diplomacy have been bemused and concerned to learn that “fake GSDs” have appeared in different parts of the world.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery — it has often been said.
Too true! But the purpose of this disclaimer is to warn all members or applicants-to-become-members of GSD to beware of imitation, “knock-off” versions of GSD.
The Geneva School of Diplomacy has a world reputation and many collaborative agreements with universities and governments all over the world.
But we wish to make clear that the Geneva School of Diplomacy and International Relations S.A.— the true, legal, the original — exists only in Switzerland and nowhere else.
Indeed the “real GSD” exists of course in Geneva, next door to the United Nations, in the heart of the most diplomatic neighborhood on the planet, surrounded by some 200 International Organizations.
So if you aspire to join the GSD community, whether as student, faculty, or staff, do be aware, and do be careful, that you are knocking at the right door. Where you will be, of course, warmly welcome.
I would like to categorically thank and acknowledge the Disclaimer and warning as an act of integrity for education values. This has protected many who seek the original GSD not to be caught up by frauderants who fake schools and documents on line. I personally would like to study my master in GSD that is in Switzerland. The only one according to my research that provides more practical human issues than theories. I understand this private university which does not provide studies on line Thanks once again for being eye opener. I hope one day i will study humanitarian subjects at the only one original GSD in Switzerland. I also noticed that among the many theses written at GSD none focus on Africa regions diplomacy and humanitarian issues. I am a ugandan living in Roma.
