The University of Geneva (Université de Genčve) is one of the oldest universities in the world. Located in Geneva, Switzerland, it was founded by John Calvin in 1559. Initially a theological seminary, it also taught law. It remained heavily theological into the 17th century, at which point it began adding other disciplines as it became a center for Enlightenment scholarship. In 1873 it dropped its religious associations and acquired the secular status of University. Today it plays a leading role in many fields--its location in Geneva gives it a prime location for diplomatic and international affairs studies, and it is also considered among the top scientific research universities in Europe, making notable discoveries in planetary science and genetics, among other fields.
It is a member of the Coimbra Group and the LERU.
