Typical intakes in Switzerland
Oct, Apr
Entry requirements
Typically for Swiss institutions in this band — largely universities of applied sciences (FH/HES) and private business and hospitality schools — a recognised bachelor's in a closely matching field, plus an English test for English-taught programmes, commonly IELTS 6.5 (a few private schools accept 6.0); some also expect relevant work experience or an interview. Switzerland assesses Indian qualifications strictly and a three-year Indian bachelor's is not accepted everywhere, so have your transcripts checked before you pay an application fee. Language of instruction matters as much as grades: many programmes run in German, French or Italian and ask for a certificate at around B2/C1, and English-taught options are limited to particular schools and subjects. Requirements vary by programme — Vibedu confirms the exact ones for you, free.
