Unless you registered to the Math Bootcamp (from 19 August to 6 September 2024) and/or to the intensive summer French course (from 26 August to 13 September 2024), it is not necessary to arrive in Geneva much in advance before Tuesday 17 September 2024 (first day of classes). Depending on your own need to “find your feet", we would advise that you plan to arrive two to four days in advance. Geneva is quite small and when the academic year begins, you will still have time between classes to take care of all your paperwork and get organised.
The Geneva Graduate Graduate Institute Student Association (GISA), organises social events during the week before the semester begins, and also in the first week of the semester. These events provide a great opportunity for you to meet your fellow students and will also help you to become integrated and settle in.
The numerous Student Initiatives - among which the Geneva Impact Investing Association (GIIA) - also organise a number of events at the beginning of the semester and during the academic year.
