Why Geneva?

Defining your study plan

Your provisional study plan (or Learning Agreement) lists the courses you will take at UNIGE with their respective ECTS credits. In order to validate the credits obtained at the end of your exchange, this document must be signed by your university. Your final study plan can be defined once you are in Geneva.
