While boasting specific insights in Law, Social Sciences and Humanities, the GISP can be followed without prior knowledge in these fields and is therefore open to all international undergraduate students (the GISP is not destined to students already at the University of Geneva) with:

1. Prior university experience / enrollment

2. An elementary-to-intermediate knowledge of French, equivalent to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages level A2, or:

- ALTE (Association of Language Testers in Europe) Level 1
- DELF (Diplome d'Etudes de Langue Française) B1
- TCF (Test de Connaissance du Français) B1
- A certificate deemed equivalent

Applications from students with a lower level of French will be considered, however, the level of French they will reach at the end of GISP will not be sufficient for them to enroll directly at the University of Geneva should they wish to do so. 

3.  An advanced level of English: mother tongue, or the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages level C1, or:

- ALTE (Association of Language Testers in Europe) Level 4
-TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), a score of at least 550 points in the paper-based test, 213 points in the computer-based one or 97 in the Internet-based test (IBT)
- IELTS (International English Language Testing System), Levels 7 to 9
- CPE (Cambridge Proficiency in English), Levels A - C
- CAE (Cambridge Advanced Certificate of English), Levels A - C
- A certificate deemed equivalent
