Why study in Switzerland
Precision, Prestige, and Globally Trusted Qualifications
Switzerland is a country that has made precision, excellence, and international credibility its national identity — and nowhere is that identity more clearly expressed than in its higher education system. From ETH Zurich, one of the world's top five universities, to the world's leading hospitality schools, Switzerland offers qualifications that carry a quality signal recognised immediately by employers, institutions, and industry leaders everywhere.
ETH Zurich — Consistently Ranked Among the World's Top Five Universities
ETH Zurich sits alongside MIT, Cambridge, and Oxford in the very top tier of global university rankings, with particular excellence in engineering, mathematics, natural sciences, and technology. A degree from ETH is not just a qualification; it is a statement of exceptional ability that employers and research institutions recognise worldwide.
Home to the World's Leading Hospitality and Hotel Management Schools
EHL (Ecole hoteliere de Lausanne) and Les Roches are globally ranked as the world's finest hospitality and hotel management institutions. For students with ambitions in this field, there is simply no better place on earth to study — and a qualification from either school opens doors in the luxury hospitality sector that no other credential can match.
Swiss Government Excellence Scholarships for International Students
The Swiss Government offers Excellence Scholarships for postgraduate and research students from partner countries, covering living costs, health insurance, and a tuition waiver at Swiss federal institutions. For students who qualify, this is an extraordinary opportunity to access one of the world's most prestigious education systems with meaningful financial support.
