Student Clubs and Study Visits

Webster Geneva Campus has an Economics and Finance Student Club that offers monthly discussion forums about the latest economic and financial outlook. In addition, guest lecturers are invited, and the group takes field visits to companies, banks and international organizations. It also offers mentoring and tutoring for its members.

The Economics and Finance Programs offer unique opportunities for students to further enhance their studies by enrolling in signature courses, such as the Digital Economy and Money and Banking. These signature courses take students out of the classroom to explore Geneva, broader Switzerland or Europe for an unforgettable learning experience.

For example, in Fall 2024, students in the Money and Banking course visited Zurich for a two-day trip packed with exclusive insights into the world of finance, cryptocurrencies and digital assets. Students also had the privilege of meeting top industry leaders.
