Make your Mark...
        ... at an international graduate institution linking Europe and the U.S.

    Global Perspective
    Broaden your horizons
  • With campuses in Bologna and Washington, D.C., the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) offers graduate students the winning combination of a year in Europe and a year in the U.S., exposing them to contrasting views which afford a unique insight into international affairs.

    Community of Leaders
    Study and grow
  • As a division of the Johns Hopkins University, one of the world's most prestigious research universities, the SAIS Bologna Center prepares the world's next leaders through U.S.-style, discussion-driven classes. With 200 students each year from three dozen countries, it fosters a cohesive social and intellectual community characterized by small classes, strong faculty-student relationships, and vigorous debate.

    Challenging Curriculum
    Breadth and depth
  • Courses emphasize economics, political science, history, and foreign language proficiency, providing a cross-disciplinary approach. Core faculty and adjunct professors from major European institutions combine personal advising with a broad choice of curriculum. Students select a course of study that combines high academic standards with application to their real world policy interests.

    Career Opportunities
    Lifetime skills
  • Graduates excel in a wide range of careers—whether at the World Bank or an investment bank, a diplomatic mission or a newsroom, a university in Brazil or an NGO in Germany. Students learn lifetime skills for landing challenging jobs, participate in professional development classes, and connect with SAIS's global alumni network.

    Invest in the Future
    Best and the brightest
  • A wide selection of courses, approachable faculty, and first class peers make the SAIS Bologna Center a wise investment. A generous program of fellowships makes the experience possible for the best students from around the world, regardless of their financial resources. Supporters who invest in the Center help train future international policy makers and leave their imprint on the world by joining an influential network of forward thinkers.
