Step 2:Find out about the admission terms and conditions.

To enroll in a Bachelor’s study program, you need to have a Swiss matriculation certificate or an equivalent to it. Check the validity of your diploma in Switzerland in the section "Admission rules" (or similar) of the selected university.

If you want to enroll in a Master's program, you will need a Bachelor's degree, for Doctoral studies - a Master's degree is required. On top of this, most universities only accept applicants who know the language of studies at C1 level.
