Horizon académique is an integration program offered by the University of Geneva as part of the Agenda Intégration Suisse (AIS) and Cantonal Integration Programme (PIC). It is a bridge program that prepares students for university. For one year or more, participants take classes, sit exams and can even earn ECTS credits, which can give them a head start on their studies. Program participants can either resume their studies at one of these higher education institutions in Geneva: the University of Geneva (UNIGE), the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland (HES-SO Geneva), or the Graduate Institute (IHEID); or find another training program better suited to their needs.
The program is offered in partnership with the Bureau de l’intégration des étrangers du canton de Genève (BIE) and is supported by several private foundations.
