University of Geneva - UNIGE (reviews)

Teachers and professors are qualified and professional. The university is one of the best universities in the world and it has an excellent reputation. Many students from different backgrounds and cultures come every year to study in this university and to get a diploma with quality.

In general, I liked the management subject as supply chain management. That is why I am now doing a master’s in supply chain management at the business school of Vienna. I think that a bachelor’s is not enough to find a proper job.

It is true that a diploma from a Swiss university isn’t easy to get, but it is totally profitable. First, this program gives us opportunities to meet prestigious Swiss businessmen and businesswomen. Plus our professors are well-known and are the best in their domain. With a diploma from UNIGE, we have a career assured, especially if we want to work in Switzerland (one of the countries with the highest wages), but also internationally.
Our university is located in the international city of Geneva, we can enjoy the little but pleasant student life with students from all around the world.

First, I was afraid my bachelor would be very general and not give me the real sense of the working reality. Le bachelor in Geneva gives you the opportunity to choose an orientation, I chose international law, and since my second year, I’ve been studying mostly law. The other orientations are: international history, international politics, international economics and a “global” formation.

Great master full of teachers, who have been in the working field and who make you work hard to acquire the knowledge required to become the best candidate possible on the market.
The economic faculty is spacious and offers its own cafeteria, library and working spaces.

The university of Geneva is in the center of Geneva, not far from local attractions, the Leman Lake and the mountains. I like the facts that it’s international, a lot of students come from all around the world, especially to study economics (bilingual program – French/English) and international relations, to work at the UN, WHO, WTO, etc.
Switzerland being a calm country, there is not a crazy amount of parties held by the University. If you’re part of international students groups (Erasmus), there is a good chance that you will have somewhere to go out everyday.
The quality of the education is very high, and the teachers come from everywhere around the world. The UNIGE is very inexpensive as well : 500 Swiss francs/semester, so a total of 1000chf per year.

A little extra this year : 2 Nobel Prizes out of 3 at Geneva University! This should impact the global ranking of the university in the Shanghai ranking.
