For international students to successfully enroll at their dream university in Switzerland, a set of eligibility criteria are required.

• For Vocational/Undergraduate courses: International students should have completed their upper secondary level education, including 10+2 from a recognized university. Students should be proficient in the language of instruction chosen to study for the course, which is mainly German, French, and Italian/Romansh.
• For Graduate courses: Students should have completed their bachelor’s degree to be eligible. Students should clear the English language proficiency test as most courses have English as their language of instruction.
• For PhD courses: Students should complete their bachelor’s and master’s degree. Apart from this, language exams should be undertaken.

Apart from the above lists, students should submit additional documents such as:

• Academic Transcripts: Based on the degree program you’re applying to, all previous academic transcripts should be submitted.
• Letter of Recommendation: Students require the LOR as it states a recommendation from an academic expert that tutored them. This gives a better understanding of a student’s performance academically.
• Statement of Purpose: Students should create an SOP that contains the purpose of pursuing a course, what developed their interest in studying abroad, career goals and professional contributions.
• CV/Resume: Students should submit a professional and well-drafted resume.
• Work Experience: This is mainly required when students pursue business graduate programs such as MBA.
• English Language Proficiency: International students are required to clear the English language entrance test. A good score illustrates your understanding of this subject.
