HES-SO Genève

Volunteering and involvement

Student involvement is crucial both for students and for the HES-SO Genève, whether through volunteering, academic or institutional contributions. Key to thriving in your life in Geneva, student involvement can have a considerable impact on integration, gaining experience, success in your studies, as well as on the life of the school as a whole. This involvement also encourages exchange and dialogue with school administrators.

Open badges student involvement

Are you formally involved in a student association, elected to the "Conseil de concertation", in a Participatory Domain Council, in a participatory body of the HES-SO Genève or selected as a HES mentor for the Academic Horizon program?

Take advantage of the “Open Badges” developed by the HES-SO to recognize student engagement in the broad sense. At the end of your activity, you can also request a badge allowing you to promote the skills acquired, particularly with employers.

Information and methods for obtaining badges.

Solidarity initiatives
La FARCE, an association set up by two students from the Haute école de travail social (HETS), offers free food distribution to students of the HES-SO Genève and the University of Geneva.
Support for asylum-seeking people)
As of the 2020-21 academic year, the the HES-SO Genève is officially collaborating with the Horizon Académique programme managed by the University of Geneva, supporting the academic and social integration of asylum-seeking people (those with N, F, B refugee or C refugee permits) who have had to interrupt a course of university study in their country and/or have already completed one or more courses of study.

By developing its collaboration with the Horizon Académique programme and introducing joint initiatives, three types of support are offered by the six schools of the HES-SO Genève, subject to participants’ eligibility to enrol in an HES bachelor’s degree:

  • Access to courses as an unregistered student
  • Access to a mentoring programme (managed by the University of Geneva) 
  • Recognition of virtual ECTS credits acquired (depending on the area of study)

In this way, the programme, which ideally takes the form of resuming studies by enrolling in the relevant course, can be used as a bridge for studies at university level.

To find out the admission criteria for the programme as well as the registration process, visit https://www.unige.ch/horizon-academique/inscription/
