Student Mobility

Mobility IN

Students on a Mobility program at the University of Geneva and attached to the GSI

The GSI welcomes you and hopes you will make the most of your stay!

The GSI has drafted guidelines for Mobility IN students at the University of Geneva interested in following courses at the GSI to help them better navigate the different aspects related to their studies. These guidelines include details on the academic calendar, choice and enrollment in courses, as well as on exams and the conditions for successfully completing the program.

All Mobility IN students attached to the GSI must familiarize themselves with these guidelines and submit a form confirming that they have read this document to the Student Advisor for Mobility, M. Marc Pochon.

Cet enseignement sera composé de cours et de visites qui auront lieu les mardis après-midis de 14h15 à 16h et les jeudis après-midis principalement entre 14h15 et 16h. Certaines visites qui auront lieu les jeudis seront étendues jusqu’à 18h. Les étudiants en mobilité IN sont donc priés d’organiser leur horaire pour être disponibles jusqu’à 18h les jeudis. Les visites ayant lieu dans le quartier de l'ONU, il ne sera pas possible d'être de retour pour 18h15 à UniMail.

Other important information

Exams: The exams will take place during three testing sessions annually, and may only be sat at the places, dates and times set by the GSI. Thus, no exemptions are granted to sit them at a distance and/or at a different date/time. With regard to the types of evaluation (e.g. written exam, oral examination, etc.), they are the same for all students. Additionally, some of the courses in the Bachelor of Arts in International Relations (BARI) program are not graded, but evaluated as pass/fail. It is not possible to obtain a grade if the examination is evaluated with a pass/fail and vice versa.

Level of Studies: Students enrolled in a Bachelor's program at their home university are not allowed to enroll in GSI Masters courses and vice versa for Master's students.

Mobility IN students not connected to the GSI: These students can enroll in GSI courses (subject to the restrictions outlined above). To do so, they must fill in the registration form (available at http://unige.ch/gsi/en/atelecharger/) and submit it to the GSI Student Secretariat within the deadline.
