Hi Wed May 31, 2006 04:14 PM I have also just found out that I have been accepted, but only after I phoned the University. Have you been given any info re starting dates, accomodation suggestions, etc? It's all a bit vague, and I'm still tossing up whether to accept or not! Thanks Deborah |

Hi Deborah,Wed May 31, 2006 04:26 PM Classes begin on Oct. 23-24. The accomodation suggestions they gave me are in this link (bureau des logements): www.unige.ch/dase/bulog/ They have several buildings with different kinds of dorms and most of them are very close by to the UCIHL. The deadline for applying to those dorms is July 15. Otherwise there are also some private lodging options though i guess they're more expensive. I know another girl who is also attending the UCIHL, perhaps we could discuss the options later on if you decide to attend. Also, I suggest you call the UCIHL agains and ask them about the enrollment procedure to the University of Geneva (UNIGE) because you have to be "matriculated" there, in order to be able to begin the program at the UCIHL and the deadlin for doing that is June 1, but I guess if you just found out you've been accepted to the UCIHL they will have no problem in your sending the required format and papers to the UNIGE later on. You can find that info at: www.unige.ch/dase/?buimi/admission.html Don't hesistate to keep in touch with me if you have any further doubts. Frida |

Hi FridaFri Jun 02, 2006 11:07 AM Thanks so much for your advice. Yes, let's definitely keep in touch about the accomodation issue. I've just received the documents, including the Geneva enrolment forms, so I guess I'll have to get onto that pretty quickly. My problem is that I haven't applied for any scholarships and it looks as though I may be out of time. Are you doing this through scholarships? I spoke with the University and the lady I spoke to there suggested that many people work to pay their way, so I may look into that as well. Hope this all works out, I'm pretty excited about this programme! Deborah |

Hi I've just been sent an acceptance letter for the 2007/8 MAS. I was wondering whether anyone has any advise about the completion of the enrolment at the University of Geneva. The application form is in French and there is no mention of the UCIHL on there!

Hi. First, congratulations to every accepted applicants! I got some questions to you. To my knowledge, this program is called "Master in advanced studies." Does this mean that this program is more suitable for the professionals of the related field?Thu Feb 01, 2007 03:49 PM Also, could you please share with us your background? e.g. working experience. Thanks a lot! |

Hi lechat,Sun Feb 04, 2007 12:00 AM My background is that I am in my final year of my Law degree at The University of Leeds, England, not a professional and they have offered me a place so I presume that it is also aimed at non-professionals as well! |

Hello all, Mon Feb 12, 2007 06:48 PM I just registered myself to this site, and was wondering if I could join your conversation? I'm about to send my application to UCIHL. I'm currently doing an MA in international law and human rights, but my BA was in journalism. Do you guys know if an LLM requires a lawyer degree (ie law school or a BA in law)? If you could share your impressions of the course so far, too, that'd be great! Thanks! All best, Gabriel |

Hi AllSun Apr 22, 2007 02:52 AM I am interested in applying for this course to begin in 2008. However I am from Australia and am concerned about how to finance my time in Geneva - does anyone know of the number of scholarships awarded and whether it would be possible to get an english speaking job in Geneva whilst studing? Also - is there anyone who has completed this course or knows of anyone who has completed the course and if so what sort of positions do they hold now? Cheers, |

Hi guys: I just finished filling out my online registration form on the University of Geneva website (and paid 65 CHF). Does anyone know if we have to send transcripts and the such to University of Geneva? It seems fruitless considering we've already been accepted to UCIHL...Mon Apr 30, 2007 03:41 PM Let me know what you think! Thanks. [Edited 30 Apr 2007 by Amanda G] |

Hi Ken! Thanks for the response. I mailed the documents today - I hope postmarked by the 30 April will suffice...Tue May 01, 2007 12:04 AM Have you found housing yet? I've just begun my search. I'm taking the NY July bar so all of this has had to take a back seat... |

Hi Sun May 06, 2007 01:54 PM I have also enrolled in the MAS programme for this September. Also keen to know if anyone has sorted out housing yet. I haven't started searching properly yet, but get the feeling the housing market is quite tight and expensive! Any thoughts on suburbs would be great! Looking forward to meeting you guys later in the year! Deb |

hi sanja84,Tue May 15, 2007 05:17 PM you can apply even though you have not graduated I have done that this year - they have given me a conditional offer so I will have to wait until I get my results to know if I have a place but they do let you apply with predicted results. Dom |

sanja84 - I am also hoping to apply for 2008/09 as well. I would very much like to stay in touch and share information.Thu May 17, 2007 08:17 PM Language Question: I am not fluent in French- (barely proficient) Althought the UCIHL program states it is in English and French, will I still be accepted by the Univ. of Geneva - Graduate Studies? Do I need to be fluent in French to be accepted? Best wishes to all starting in 2007 - |

Hi USAEsq. I do not know a word on French!!! As far as I know,when you applying at UCIHL,you can chose between French and English. But When you want to apply for some programmes at University of Geneva,I do not know a procedure. If they did not put terms on the internet site,contact them personal. I know that in Geneva exists Graduate Institut of International Stuidies-they demand a passive knowledge of French,and besides this a lot of other things. I think it is highly competetive there. But if it easy to be accepted there I would not go,because it lasts two years. It is two much for me. Especially I will finish faculty who lasts 4 years,then a master 1=it is 5 years of education. It is enough. I cannont forever ask money of my parens,I have to let them live a little :-)))Fri May 18, 2007 04:53 PM a little advise: You apply anywhere you think might be interested,and after can choose. If you apply only for one you might be dispponited when you rely for one. I will apply for more then one. Good luck. Ciao [Edited 18 May 2007 by sanja84] |

Hello. That's actually a really good question. I was under the impression classes would either be at HEI or University of Geneva but I'm really not sure. Right now I'm just looking for housing. Any suggestions? I really haven't received any information yet other than my acceptance and a confirmation from University of Geneva stating they had received my online registration. Let me know if you have any ideas... thanks :)

Hi,Thu Jul 12, 2007 08:19 PM I went over a few months ago and i was told by a student currently studying that classes are split between the HEI and the University of Geneva. You have to enroll with either school when you get there, but i got the understanding that it didnt really matter which. I have accomodation at the RUI so as probably going to register at the HEI because it's closer, although i have to admit i dont really undertsand the process!!!! |
