The goal of the Master in "Standardization, Social Regulation and Sustainable Development" is to combine in a single curriculum three thematic pillars: standardization, sustainable development and social regulation. This is achieved through a partnership between the University of Geneva and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It also implies the collaboration with a number of partners coming from external organizations.

Please note that all compulsory classes are taught in English. Students with no prior knowledge of French are eligible to apply. Download the Master's brochure.
