Switzerland is an excellent location for living, studying, and working. Its cultural variety, beautiful landscape, and innovative environment offer first-class surroundings for both personal well-being and career advancement.

Switzerland is one of the most competitive countries in the world and widely recognised internationally as a centre of excellence in education, research, and innovation. Great emphasis is placed on ensuring the autonomy of Swiss universities and researchers, on fostering competition and quality, and on en- couraging a broad-minded outlook.

Switzerland’s high-quality education system and its multicul- tural society mean that a large part of the population is fluent in several languages. English is widely spoken and used as a language of business, higher education, and research.

Switzerland’s small size has favoured the emergence of well- developed research and development networks, whose expertise is continuously implemented in the economy and society. At the same time, Switzerland is part of the global community and maintains a worldwide network of cooperations and partner ships in education and science.

Common to the country’s richly diverse higher education system is a drive for uncompromising quality in teaching and research. Swiss universities play an active role in shaping the future with the necessary responsibility. So be a part of this quality! Welcome to Swiss universities!
