International Week: 7 to 11 October 2024

PROGRAMME

The 3d International Week will take place from 7 to 11 October 2024. Organised by the Academic Exchange Service, this event will feature a number of events and will provide information on exchange programmes, the registration procedure, the financial aid available, the courses and exams offered by the Maison des Langues and the opportunities for internationalisation while remaining in Geneva.

To answer academic questions, information sessions will be held by the different faculties during the week or just before.

Future Outgoing students will also have the opportunity to obtain concrete information on certain destinations thanks to 5 sessions (previously known as "Paroles d'étudiants-es et d'expert-es") organised by geographical region, during which experts and students will give testimonials.
These sessions will also give our students the opportunity to talk to Incoming students representing partner universities.
