Lake Geneva Campus
Experience what sustainability means in practical terms
A place to live and breathe sustainability
Switzerland:
the world's sustainability lab
Located in Gland on the shores of Lake Geneva, the SUMAS campus sits in one of the world's safest and happiest places to live. Surrounded by pristine alpine nature, the campus embodies the sustainable living principles taught inside its classrooms.
The campus is strategically positioned near Gland's conservation cluster — home to WWF, the Ramsar Convention, the African Wildlife Foundation, and IUCN — one of the world's most concentrated sustainability ecosystems.
Students enjoy outdoor activities including skiing, hiking, lakeside moments, and cultural festivals year-round — a unique environment that makes sustainability more than just an academic subject.
