Studying in Switzerland:
|
| Admission to Swiss Universities |
| Even if a foreign school certificate is recognized as sufficient for enrollment, the Swiss university-level institutions still reserve the right to grant admission. For instance, in certain fields of study (particularly medicine, pharmacy, chemistry, and more recently psychology) only a limited number of foreigners can be accepted. In the medical institutions, foreign applications are not likely to be considered. The Universities also reserve the right to require an entrance examination in the chosen field of study. In all cases, adequate knowledge of the language of instruction is a prerequisite for admission. Most Swiss Universities hold a language examination for those with a foreign mother tongue. Minimum age for admission is 18. |
| How to proceed if you wish to study in Switzerland |
| In general, the following must be submitted together with the application: - exact information as to the course of study desired - certified copy of an equivalent of Swiss matriculation, or copies of any college or university certificates - examination marks together with an official statement about the content of your studies - detailed curriculum vitae Personal appearance is required at the actual enrollment, which takes place at the beginning of each semester.

These examinations are held twice a year (in March-April and September-October).

Cost of Studies Fees are between CHF 400 and CHF 1,400 per year. Living expenses amount to at least CHF 15,000 per year (Swiss Universities do not provide on-campus accommodations). Part: 1 2 |
