Geneva University of Art and Design (HEAD) (French: Haute École d'art et de Design Genève) is a European art and design school founded in 2006, and belonging to the network of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Western Switzerland.[2]

The Haute École d'Arts Appliqués was founded on October 4, 1869 under the name l’École d’Art Appliqué à l’Industrie.'
