Hi Greg and Mbobic,
Happy I could help. I know choosing a university from the internet can turn out to be quite... dangerous.
When you go in August, you'll find that the GSD's campus is 1) in the middle of a park, with a splendid view on the lake and the Alps, and the classes are in a chateau. Not too bad... And 2) there are maximum 15 students by class, which is a major plus of the school, because the classes become super-interactive and the teachers know you well - and they can help you.
I appreciated the small size of the campus, made things easier for the interaction with the other students and with the teachers - especially with a job perspective...
Greg, frankly I never notice or either cared about the publications online. Most of the students who go there don't really want to become academic, they want to work in the international relations system and get a job or internship, for example, at the UN after. So you're quite right in your analysis is the second paragraph.
Finally, regarding your question about the jobs, most of the professors in regular universities are ... professors and just care about their publications. At GSD, they all work in places where you wouldn't mind getting a job, and they wouldn't mind helping you anyway. Their network is amazing and, even if there is never any guaranty, I would say this is one of the best places in Europe to study with an employment perspective in the international relations.
Good luck people,
B.
