Grants

If your home university is part of the Erasmus Program, you will receive a scholarship of either CHF 380.- or CHF 440.- per month depending on your country of origin. This scholarship will be given to you at the beginning of the exchange semester. There is no administrative procedure to be done in advance.

If you come from a university out of the European Union, you will only receive a scholarship provided the budget allows it. The decision is made at the end of each academic year

Preparing for your stay in Geneva

An entry visa is required for all students coming from a non-EU/EFTA country.

A residence permit is required for all students coming from abroad and staying in Switzerland during the exchange program.

Highlights of Geneva

Geneva’s canton spreads out on 282 km2. It is surrounded by the French territory and situated between the Alps and the Jura mountains. It is situated at the extremity of the famous « Lac Léman », which is internationally renowned for its « Jet d’eau ».

Geneva has the privilege to be in the heart of Europe and is close to European cities like London, Barcelona, Rome, Paris, Milan and Amsterdam.

The city is a real melting pot with about 185 000 inhabitants which 40% are foreigners with over 160 different nationalities. The canton of Geneva counts 490 578 inhabitants (2015) and is in the top twenty of the most secure cities in the world.

It hosts approximately 200 international organizations, governmental or none governmental, like the United Nations (UN), the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the International Labour Organization (ILO), the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and much others. Geneva has also one of the most important economy market platform and is chosen by many multinationals for their headquarters.

Furthermore, Geneva is one of the main cities of world congress. It welcomes great exchanges thanks to its open minded spirit and perception of the world surrounding it. This makes you integrate easily.

Moreover, Geneva has an attachment for its traditions, which is extremely important. It is a lively cultural city all year round with many national & international events, exhibitions, activities and festivals (the Escalade celebration & race, the Davis cup, the Car show, ski resorts within an hour away from Geneva, Montreux Jazz Festival, Paléo Festival, Caribana Festival).

My personal experience during all these 5 months at Geneva has been great. This program has completely surpassed all my expectations and I feel I have learned so much both professionally and personally.

I am very surprised with the level and quality of the courses. All the teachers have the best formation and a ton of experience with which they delight students. They are also always open to answer all your questions and doubts which is really helpful for foreign students. Lessons are very practical and focused on real life situations which is certainly a positive thing for us students to learn. The education at HEG is less focused on exams and much more focused on group works, I think this is a very positive part of this university as students become able to understand how real life works. Moreover, this university offers a very wide range of subjects upon which to choose, in order for you to freely choose what you would like to learn.

The other thing that impacted me was the excellent atmosphere there is within the university. The HEG has a perfect equilibrium between internationals and Swiss people. They provide a very good attention to Erasmus students which we really appreciate. Swiss people are also very welcoming, kind and helpful. The HEG puts a lot of effort in the integration of every student, due to the numerous events the university has prepared. A welcoming and goodbye lunch, a city tour where we first got to know the Erasmus students, as well as trips to beautiful Swiss cities and chocolate factories. This experience has allowed me to meet people from all around the world which I never thought I could get to know without this Erasmus program.

I would really recommend this university and this experience to anyone who asks me, I am very thankful for everything I have learned. What I liked the most was the perfect equilibrium between the educational part and the personal part of this semester. I believe doing an Erasmus can only benefit oneself and it’s such an enriching experience I will never forget.
