IHEID campus
The campus of the educational institution is suburban. It combines the features of a rural and urban campus. Students live separately from the city and create a close-knit community. At the same time, they are not very far from the city and have access not only to urban entertainment, such as cinemas and restaurants, but also to outdoor activities.
Students have access to the extensive scientific library of the university. The collection of scientific papers helps them in conducting research. The infrastructure of the university includes various opportunities for playing sports: from different spaces to clubs. Not only locals study at IHEID, but also students from other countries. The variety of cultures represented broadens the horizons of students and fills student life with all sorts of activities, the purpose of which is cultural exchange.
