HEAD – Genève’s interdisciplinary approach is designed to foster exchange and allow each student to shape part of their academic journey according to their interests and professional goals, encouraging individual and distinctive career paths.
A shared campus bringing together all the disciplines taught at the school and facilitating connections across fields has enabled this approach to be developed at every level of study.
Open to second- and third-year Bachelor’s students across all programs, interdisciplinary courses encourage exchange and collaboration in multidisciplinary classrooms. The number of courses students are required to take—typically one or two per semester, selected from a diverse offering of nearly 75 courses—varies depending on the curriculum.
At the Master’s level, interdisciplinary courses invite students to enrich their academic journey through electives and weeklong workshops, with a program that is refreshed each year. Offered through separate tracks for Fine Arts and Design, these courses foster connections and the sharing of experiences by bringing together first- and second-year students.
A highlight of the academic year, the “Week of Infinite Possibilities” brings Bachelor’s and Master’s students together for five days of workshops dedicated to experimentation and creative practice. By temporarily suspending regular coursework, the week creates a space for learning and exchange where disciplines and practices intersect.
HEAD – Genève provides students with fabrication workshops (woodworking, metalworking, 2D and 3D prototyping) and technical centers. These shared resources support projects across all programs, from experimentation to production.
