Academic InformationWorking LanguagesThe official working languages of the Institute are English and French. All students are expected to have a working knowledge of English and at least a passive knowledge of French. Students without any prior knowledge of French, who have requested a waiver of the French language requirement, will be expected to attend a French course organised by the Institute for three weeks prior to the start of the semester and throughout the first semester. Some compulsory courses may be taught in French starting in the first semester. Students may choose to express themselves, orally and in writing, in either language. Course HandoutsUnless otherwise stated, course handouts must be ordered directly from the Imprimerieminute (copy service). Academic staff will provide the relevant course codes at the start of the semester. To order online : http://www.imprimerie-minute.ch/minute

Regular attendance and active participation in classes may be used by the faculty in the final assessment. At the start of each semester, staff will inform students of attendance requirements. Students are requested to arrive in the classroom a few minutes prior to the start of class. The use of mobile phones is strictly prohibited during classes, seminars or examinations; audio and visual ringtones must be switched off.
