Online Open House Week

Welcome to the Online Open House Week 2025, taking place from 27 to 31 October, at the Geneva Graduate Institute!

This exciting week is designed for prospective students, offering a series of engaging online webinars and live classes.  Each day, you’ll have the chance to participate in real-time classes and get a true sense of what it’s like to study here.

At the Institute, interdisciplinarity is at the heart of our approach. Even if you choose to study in a disciplinary programme, you’ll have the freedom to explore electives from a wide range of fields.

So feel free to join any class that sparks your interest, or even explore new subjects. This can be especially helpful if you're undecided between two.

Worried about time zones? No problem! You can easily join from your phone, even if you're relaxing in bed – we promise, no one will notice!

FULL PROGRAMME PER DEPARTMENT

In addition to the live classes, we’re hosting daily webinars on topics such as:

  • Our academic programmes at the Institute
  • Career Services
  • Student Life in Geneva
  • Alumni Roundtable
  • How to Apply

We look forward to welcoming you!
