About Athena

Athena is a semester-long program in physics and mathematics organised by the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Geneva for high school students. It is aimed at secondary school students in their last or penultimate year of secondary school who are interested in discovering university studies in physics and mathematics, and possibly getting a head start in their studies. The program offers students the chance to participate in one of a selected number of courses taught in the first semester at the University of Geneva, giving them an insight into student life. The participants are also offered additional tutoring.
