Administrative process

The University of Geneva’s Immatriculation Service indicates the administrative process and deadlines for registering for our Bachelor’s program.

Admission deadlines

The deadline is dependent on your situation:

28 February: for candidates who according to their nationality need a visa to enter Switzerland for more than 90 days; in accordance with the regulations of the Confederation (irrespective of current residence, except for residence permits in Switzerland valid beyond 30 April).

30 April: for candidates who do not need a visa to enter Switzerland for more than 90 days; in accordance with the regulations of the Confederation (irrespective of current residence, except for residence permits in Switzerland valid beyond 30 April).

Language requirements

A compulsory French language test is required by the Admissions department for an application to the GSEM Bachelor program. Information on exemptions.

Students who sit the French language test but do not meet the required grade may enroll and register for the GSEM Bachelor program if they fulfill one of the two conditions below:

• They have successfully completed a certificate or program (upper secondary or university) officially taught in English;
• They hold one of the recognized English language certificates.

Every first-year class is taught in French and English. In the second and third years, classes are taught in either one language or the other. This allows all our students to develop the professional language skills essential for the job market – especially in an international environment like Geneva.

At the beginning of the first year, we recommend a B1 level in your “weak” language and require a B2 level in your “strong” language.

The University of Geneva’s Maison des Langues offers English classes for interested students and French support classes for non-native speakers.
