Application deadlines
Deadlines vary considerably depending on the university and degree programme. For bachelor’s programmes, deadlines usually fall between March and May, while for master’s programmes they can run from October to June. Private universities often use rolling admissions, and final deadlines may be as late as August.
Important information
In Switzerland, you can apply to any number of degree programmes and universities. The process usually takes place directly through the individual university’s system. Requirements vary considerably, so each programme must be checked separately, particularly at top universities.
How to get admitted?
For bachelor’s programmes, grades and meeting the formal requirements are important. Sometimes a CV, personal statement, interview or even one year of professional experience is required. For master’s programmes, greater emphasis is often placed on your CV, personal statement, references, the relevance of your previous degree and your academic results.
Language requirements
For programmes taught in English, universities usually accept IELTS, TOEFL or Cambridge qualifications at B2/C1 level. At bachelor’s level, many degree programmes are taught in German, French or Italian, so a certificate in the local language may be required.
Public and private universities
Public universities have low tuition fees, but often higher formal and language requirements. Private universities are more expensive, but may offer more programmes in English, more flexible deadlines and an individualised admissions process.
