Typical intakes in Switzerland
Oct, Apr
Entry requirements
Typically for Swiss universities in this band, a bachelor's degree from a recognised university judged equivalent to a Swiss bachelor's (180 ECTS) in the same subject — but Indian qualifications are assessed strictly here, and a three-year Indian bachelor's is often not enough on its own: some universities look for a four-year degree, an Indian master's, or a degree from a highly ranked institution, and offers frequently come with supplementary coursework. English-taught master's typically ask IELTS 6.5-7.0; many programmes are taught in German or French and then require proof of that language, usually at C1, with English-taught master's concentrated in technical, science and business fields. Requirements vary by programme — Vibedu confirms the exact ones for you, free.
