<p>Hello.</p>
<p>My father works for the diplomatic corps, and he's recieved word that his next posting is in Geneva. I plan on going with him to study Computer Science as an undergraduate in Geneva, but I'm at a loss on which university to enroll in. I've heard mixed things about Webster University, but their curriculum looks very attractive. I graduated high school with an IGCSE, and my rough GPA using the grades from it is 3.5/4</p>
<p>I've also heard good things about International University in Geneva, but it seems that their CompSci course heavily emphasizes business and management, which isn't what I really want. I'd take it on the condition that I follow up with a Masters degree in Computer Science at a more reputable university.</p>
<p>Are there any other English-speaking Unis in Geneva, or Switzerland in general? Will an IGCSE be good enough to get into them?</p>
<p>IGCSEs are based on the UK system of education, and are normally taken at the age of 16. Unfortunately they are not enough to get you into any university (and does “an” mean you only have one? Normally people do a minimum of 5, normally closer to 10). </p>
<p>You’ll almost certainly need to study at the level of A Levels / International Baccalaureate to get into a university in Geneva, but I would suggest checking the international applicants pages on relevant university websites. </p>
<p>How old are you?</p>
<p>Well, I did 7 exams for 7 subjects, if that’s what you mean.</p>
<p>I’m currently 20 years old. Due to my constant moving around because of my dad’s job, my education’s been all over the place. I got the IGCSEs done 2 years ago, and that same year I enrolled in a university here in Chile for Game Design and Animation. That turned out to be a disastrous mistake, as the course was a huge waste of time.</p>
<p>7 subjects is closer to the mark, but it wouldn’t get you into a British uni, and I doubt it would get you into a Swiss uni unless you have other qualifications you haven’t mentioned (Chilean university entrance exams?) </p>
<p>Is there any reason why you couldn’t return to your home country and go to uni there, or otherwise go somewhere without your dad? The US MAY be more forgiving as IGCSEs are at a similar level to a high school diploma, though these things don’t translate exactly. In the UK (I don’t know about other countries though) there are foundation courses, which are aimed at people like you with non standard qualifications or mitigating circumstances. You could consider doing that or something similar. </p>
