Welcome to Student Experience!
Students’ integration to life on Campus
Geneva Business School offers services to students, welcome week, induction days, and plenty of fun events to help students successfully integrate into the school and adapt to the culture of their new home city.
Relocation Services
Each campus provides relocation services, including guidance on accommodation, insurance, and bank accounts; legal guidance regarding migration requirements; legal guardianship for underage students; transport to/from the airport, among other services. Some of these services may incur additional fees.
On some campuses, the school has its own accommodation, while others can recommend the best options. Contact your Student Experience Coordinator for more information.
Career Service
Geneva Business School has career counseling services for students to help them find internships and job opportunities. Our Career Service collaborates with companies and organizations in the region and follows industry trends, HR events, and conferences to offer our students the best professional opportunities. Geneva Business School also hosts two Career Days per year on each campus where students can also meet prospective employers and network with companies who are looking for talent in a wide array of sectors.
The Career Service actively supports all current students and alumni in finding internships and jobs both locally and internationally. Newsletters presenting the latest job offers are sent on a regular basis. In addition, the Career Service helps students write their CVs and cover letters, create a LinkedIn profile, provides training for mastering job interviews, and supports students with the job search and application process.
Internships with Student Experience
Our Student Service Department hires new students every year for 3 to 12 months paid internships to assist with administration and marketing tasks. Check out the Join Our Community page for more information.
Geneva Business School understands that every student’s journey is different and that everyone faces challenges, even during their studies. Our school gives students a space to reflect on these challenges and issues. Students may seek support and meet one of our coaches for any issue that is affecting their enjoyment and success at the school, whether it is time management, learning difficulties, self-confidence, depression, anxiety, identity issues, matters of conflict, or decision-making issues.
