INcoming students
Students who would like to do an exchange at the University of Geneva's Faculty of Translation and Interpreting must be enrolled at one of our partner universities and officially selected by their university.
After having been selected, students will receive a personal email from our International Affairs office with a link and access code to register online.
Please note that you must come up with a study plan (learning agreement) to be approved by your home university before registering online.
For more information, please contact the FTI student exchange secretary.

You should choose your courses based on the degree you are doing at your home university (Bachelor courses for BA students and Master courses for MA students).
However, Bachelor students who come to the FTI during the last year of their degree may attend the MA Practical Translation Seminars (“Traduction argumentée”), if their level is deemed to be adequate by the lecturers.
Please note that the MA in Conference Interpreting courses are only open to students whose applications have been accepted. You must be registered in a programme at your home university that belongs to the European Masters in Conference Interpreting, and already have experience in consecutive and simultaneous interpreting. If you are interested in applying, please contact the FTI student exchange secretary for a list of documents you will need to provide.
Information session
New exchange students at the FTI are required to attend an information session a week before the semester begins. Attendance is mandatory.
The next information session will be held on
Monday 20th of February 2023 from 8:15 am to 10:00 am
Room M2140 (2nd floor), Uni-Mail
You will be given important information on the programme, courses and timetable, as well as instructions on how to register for courses and exams.
Housing
Due to the housing shortage in Geneva, we unfortunately cannot guarantee accomodation in student residences to all those who apply. We therefore encourage you to look at other housing options. For more information, see the "Housing" section of the International Affairs Office website.
