Quick answers for your move to Switzerland
How does the Swiss education system work?+
Public universities and universities of applied sciences follow the Bologna structure, so bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees are recognised across Europe. Teaching language depends on the canton (German, French, Italian, or English for selected programmes). Swisstudy maps the right city and language track for your profile.
What living budget should I plan for Switzerland?+
Expect CHF 1,500–2,500 per month for accommodation, food, transport, insurance, and daily expenses, depending on the city and housing type. Swisstudy builds a realistic budget with you and compares costs across cantons before you apply.
How does Swisstudy support me during the application?+
Swisstudy manages the process end to end: programme selection, motivation letter and references, application forms, and document collection. After you receive an offer, we handle visa guidance, housing, city registration, and campus arrival so you are never alone.
