Overview:
- The University of Geneva – known as UNIGE – is located in the heart of a vibrant, international city that is nestled between the shores of Lake Geneva, the Alps and the Jura mountains. Geneva is also home to a large number of international organizations, NGOs and multinationals. All this provides the ideal setting for a well-rounded, fulfilling and successful learning experience.
But it’s not just about the location – our university also boasts no fewer than nine teaching faculties and 12 cross-disciplinary institutes and centers, in which experts and students from a range of fields come together to hone the skills they need to build a more sustainable future for us all. And our cutting-edge teaching and research have garnered international recognition: We rank among the top 100 universities in the world, and UNIGE professors received two Nobel Prizes in Physics in 2019 and another Fields Medal in 2022.
Each year, more than 18,000 students are part of this quest. Would you like to join them?
