The education system in Switzerland

The education system in Switzerland is very diverse, because the constitution of  Switzerland delegates the authority for the school system mainly to the cantons.The Swiss law on publicly financed universities, the Swiss University Conference and its accreditation body the CRUS-OAQ recognizes. There are 14 public and generic universities in Switzerland, 10 of which are maintained at cantonal level and usually offer a range of non-technical subjects. Of the remaining 4 institutions, 2 are run by the Swiss Confederation and are known as "Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology". Switzerland was the birthplace of the International Baccalaureate in 1968. In relation to its population size, Switzerland is the country with the highest number of universities among the 100 best of the ARWU  Academic Ranking of World Universities (2014-2015).

As  per 2013 QS Ranking  eight universities were raked as best as detailed below.

1. ETH Zurich 12th
2. EPFL École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne 19th
3. University of Geneva (Université de Genève) 71st
4. University of Zurich (Universität Zürich) 78th
5. University of Basel (Universität Basel),110th
6. University of Lausanne (Université de Lausanne) 111th
7. University of Bern (Universität Bern),  154th
8. University of St. Gallen (Universität St. Gallen) 411-420th

                          École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne

                                           University of Geneva

                                         University of Zurich

In the Bologna system, one academic year corresponds to 60 ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) credits, which are equivalent to 1,500-1,800 hours of study. This includes contact hours (lectures, seminars, practical work, etc.), as well as independent study at home or in a library. Attainment of the Bachelor's degree requires three years of full-time study (180 ECTS-credits).The Bachelor's degree is a pre-requisite for enrollment in a Master's programme. It can in some cases lead directly to a Master of Advanced Studies (MAS). However, a Bachelor's degree is not sufficient for enrollment in a doctoral programme, which requires the attainment of a Master's degree as well.The Swiss universities run several programmes of continuing education in different professional fields and confer three separate diplomas: the Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) 10 ECTS, the Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS) 30 to 59 ECTS and the Executive Master/Master of Advanced Studies (MAS/MBA) 60 ECTS the only Degree program in continuing education.

Admission to a Bachelor's Programme

The decision concerning admission to a course of studies rests with the individual institution. The basic admission requirement is a Swiss secondary high-school-leaving certificate (Matura, Maturité, Maturità) or a foreign secondary high-school-leaving certificate considered equivalent. Students not holding fully recognized certificates qualifying for university entrance may be required to take a university entrance exam.

Admission to a Master's Programme

The prerequisite for access to a Master's programme is a successfully completed Bachelor's level programme. Each university makes its own decisions as to whether a foreign Bachelor's degree can give the holder access to Master's programmes, and what are the conditions, if any (entrance examinations, further requirements).

Admission to a Doctoral Programme

To be eligible for a PhD programme at a Swiss university, applicants must hold a Master's degree or equivalent from a recognised or accredited university. As conditions vary among universities, interested students should check the admission requirements of their prospective university.

Language Requirements

All Swiss universities require good knowledge of the language of instruction. The Universities of Fribourg, Neuchâtel, Geneva and Lausanne, as well as the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, are in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. Fribourg is officially a bilingual university, with courses offered both in French and German, while Italian is the teaching language at the Università della Svizzera italiana, located in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland. The universities of Basel, Bern, Lucerne, St.Gallen, Zurich and the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich are located in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. 

An increasing number of study programmes at Master's level are offered in English, thus a solid knowledge of English language is advisable for all prospective students.

Detailed information on general- and country-specific admission requirements can be found on the website.
