University of Geneva Application Deadlines 2027

The University of Geneva is a large public university teaching mainly in French, with a growing set of English-taught master's programmes and one of the lowest flat tuition fees among Swiss universities, charged equally to Swiss and international students. A compulsory French test applies to most bachelor applicants, and master's English requirements are set programme by programme rather than centrally.
