Founded in 1981, the Swiss Graduate School of Public Administration (IDHEAP) nowadays forms an integral part of the University of Lausanne’s Faculty of Law, Criminal Justice and Public Administration. Starting from theories linked to public service and institutional management, IDHEAP’s objective is to develop and transmit state-of-the-art knowledge based on practical experience. In order to best meet the needs of public administration and governance bodies, IDHEAP relies on a multidisciplinary approach which combines human and social sciences including law, economics, management and political science.
