Professionnal

The SDSA’s Professional Department aims to enhance the professional development of our members’ associative and academic experiences. By fostering interactions with key players in International Geneva, we create unique opportunities for dialogue with experienced professionals familiar with recruitment processes in international institutions, NGOs, and diplomatic organizations.

Our events, such as practical workshops and informal gatherings, are designed to encourage enriching exchanges between members and professionals in the field. These events allow members to explore a wide range of career paths in the world of diplomacy and international relations.

In addition, the Department offers practical and personalized services, such as CV review and editing, as well as translation services. Through these initiatives, we support our members in preparing for and successfully transitioning into the professional world.

HEAD OF DEPARTMENT ​

As a Bachelor of Laws student at the University of Geneva, I am passionate about languages, geopolitics, and history. I discovered the Swiss Diplomacy Student Association in 2023 at a conference attended by His Excellency Mr. Jérôme Bonnafont, a pivotal event that played a decisive role in shaping my studies. Drawn to the wealth of exchanges and opportunities it offered, I first joined the association as a member before becoming head of department. Today, I wish to share my passion for the diplomatic world and introduce other students to this fascinating and globally enriching field.
