In Amman, examine refugee protection policies and psychosocial interventions. In Geneva, explore international humanitarian coordination and compare integration and identity challenges of asylum seekers in Jordan and Switzerland.

HEAR FROM A FORMER STUDENT

"I really enjoyed my stay in Jordan. The program director and assistants were very supportive and responsive. I really like the field visits to the refugee camp and numerous humanitarian local NGOs in Jordan and Turkey. Those field visits allowed me to learn a lot about working in the humanitarian aid field. I would choose the program again also because it enabled me to do one-month internship at a local NGO."
