Geneva Summer Schools - University of Geneva

The University of Geneva stands out as one of the 150 best universities in the world - 66th Shanghai Ranking - and one of the 20 best research universities in Europe.

Participants experience a prestigious university founded in 1559. Just like the city of Geneva itself, the university enjoys a strong international reputation, both for the high standard of its research and the excellence of its education.

You will get the opportunity to experience Geneva's dynamic, multicultural and international environment and you will be exposed to world-class expertise with unique networking opportunities.

We offer a selection of short courses during the summer in a variety of fields such as Internet Law, Human Rights, Global Health, among others. All classes are taught in English by faculty from the University of Geneva and other renowned institutions. Our high quality academic courses provide a global perspective on interdisciplinary subjects.

Academic lectures will be combined with visits, round tables and debates in connection with experts of leading Geneva-based international organizations, as well as top global non-profit institutions and companies.

Moreover, Geneva won in 2015 for the second time in a row the "Europe's Leading City Break Destination Awards".

Finally, the quality of life in the Lake Geneva region is most exceptional. Geneva is remarquable, first of all, for its natural beauty. Set on the vast expanse of Lake Geneva, surrounded by mountains, Geneva enjoys breathtaking views of the Mont Blanc peak and the Alps.
