University of Geneva
With more than 14,000 students, the
University of Geneva1 is the second‐largest
university in Switzerland (after the
University of Zurich). Comprising seven
faculties, and a School of Translation and Interpretation, it
is a multifaceted institution of higher
learning. It offers cutting‐edge education in
any of a vast range of broad‐based
undergraduate degree courses, as well as
further education at the postgraduate level.
Over the past few years the university has
also developed its continuing education
department, offering more than 100
programs for working adults.
Geneva, considered the smallest of the
large world capitals, is home to more than
300 international and nongovernmental
organizations and permanent missions.
This multicultural environment is mirrored
at the University of Geneva, as one‐third of
its student body comes from abroad. In this
international context, in which close links
are maintained with academic institutions
the world over, students increasingly
request online education.
