1. Switzerland's education system is superior.

Switzerland, located in the middle of Europe, is the transportation, economy and technology center of Europe. Swiss national education is world-famous, and it is divided into public and private universities. There are 65,438+02 public universities under the jurisdiction of the federal government. They mainly teach in German and French. After obtaining a university diploma, graduates can continue to study technology, science and mathematics and get a doctorate.

The Swiss government also attaches great importance to the education of private colleges. There are about 250 private schools providing high-quality private education for local and international students. The teaching policy closely follows the Swiss and international syllabus, especially referring to the teaching model of Britain and the United States, and enjoys a high reputation in the world.

2. High visa

Students studying in Switzerland apply for a visa to return. The visa return period is short, only 2-3 months, and it will not involve the restrictions of students' location and application time. Visa approval is decided by the immigration office of the state where the Swiss school is located. The required information is simple and the fund guarantee is small. If students meet the language requirements and have clear learning motivation, they can be successfully admitted to the schools and majors they apply for, and visa refusal rarely occurs.

In addition, the Swiss government welcomes students from China. In the past, studying in Switzerland required German and French scores, but since the opening of hotel management, English scores can be provided.

3. Public universities are free of tuition.

There are 12 public universities in Switzerland, which teach in French, German and Italian respectively, with little English teaching. If the language passes the test of public universities, you can enter public universities for tuition-free study.

In recent years, many China students have passed the examinations to enter public universities. Moreover, according to the regulations, students in public universities are allowed to work, with a monthly income of about 6,543,800 yuan, and they can work 20 hours a week.

4. Private universities arrange paid internships.

There are more than 200 private universities in Switzerland, mainly focusing on hotel management and business administration. These private universities offer English courses for local and international students, as well as German and French courses.

The characteristics of private universities are as follows: (1) State-owned branches in Europe and America are conducive to the smooth transfer of students to Europe and America for further study; Tuition is high, but it can provide students with internship opportunities, which is conducive to students' contact with society, improve their working ability and earn a lot of money; Eat and stay, enjoy buffet and standard room treatment in the hotel.

5. High-quality "noble" boarding education

Although the tuition fees of boarding schools in Switzerland are staggering, in recent years, wealthy families in China, especially successful entrepreneur families, have increasingly favored Swiss aristocratic boarding schools.

At home, most parents want their children to enter the world's top universities such as the United States and Britain, while studying in Switzerland can prepare for going to American universities: the curriculum of the school provides two systems, the United States and Britain, and most of the students who graduate from the school can enter European and American universities.

The outdoor sports provided by the school are particularly rich: students can swim, windsurf and row banana boats in Lake Geneva every day and climb rocks five or six times a week; Many schools have ski resorts, sailing centers and horse riding fields on campus; During weekends or winter and summer vacations, students will be organized to climb mountains, hike, camp, or visit Paris, London, Barcelona and other cities.

Going to middle school in Switzerland is a compulsory course for many powerful people and families in the world: for example, John Kerry, the current Secretary of State of the United States, studied at the Montana Institute; Junior high school in Switzerland; Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and American movie star Elizabeth Taylor also sent their children to Lerossi on the shores of Lake Geneva.

Private schools with five configurations are schools that train ladies and gentlemen: the students are probably the children of princes, princesses, stars and rich people from all over the world, but it is more likely that you will not know their family background until graduation, and the school teachers will not show special respect to any student. No matter whether it is a boy or a girl, when eating in a restaurant, they will spread their napkins without saying a word, and they will lead the dishes, divide the dishes and clean up the dishes themselves-no student is arrogant.

6. Learning in a multilingual environment

The official languages of Switzerland are French, German, Italian and Romance, and English is the common language of industry, commerce and tourism. Switzerland has a population of 7 million and four languages: 75% speaks German, 15% speaks French, 2% speaks Romance and 25% speaks English.

Although Switzerland is a non-English-speaking country, the overall cultural quality of its citizens is very high, and it is common for local people to speak several languages. In some public places and institutions, such as hotels, banks, schools, police stations and restaurants, English is unimpeded.

7. Academic qualifications are recognized

12 The diplomas of Swiss public universities and some universities of applied science and technology have been certified by the Ministry of Education of China. However, except for Lausanne Hotel Management College, most of the hotel management majors that my friends yearn for are set up in private colleges, and other hotel management majors have not been recognized. Such a diploma is only an industry diploma, not a national certification diploma.

Switzerland and China have not reached a * * * understanding on hotel management certification, so it is impossible to form a mutual recognition clause for academic qualifications. However, such a diploma does not affect students' return to work, because it has a high reputation in the industry and is a passport for the world hotel industry.

8. High scholarship

Every year, about 200 China students go to Switzerland, among which 17 students can receive official scholarships provided by the Swiss and Chinese governments and selected by the Chinese and Swiss ministries of education.

After entering public schools, the rest of the students need to be rewarded according to the results of the first semester, and they can get grants through work-study programs.

Private hotel management provides paid internships, usually without scholarships, but you can get some bursaries for completing a certain hour of education on campus.

9. There are many international institutions.

More than 200 international organizations in the world have their headquarters in Switzerland. Such as: ioc headquarters, WTO Headquarters, United Nations European Headquarters, World Health Organization, FIFA, etc. Switzerland hosts a large number of international conferences every year, which can create many employment opportunities and provide job opportunities around the world.

10, the richest country in the world.

When it comes to wealth, you have to mention the salary in Switzerland. According to the data released by the World Bank, Switzerland is the country with the highest salary in the world, and Zurich is the city with the highest salary in the world. The personal tax return point in Geneva is 500,000 US dollars per year, and the minimum wage set by the government is not less than 3,000 Swiss francs. It has been rated as the richest country in the world for several years.

Switzerland is a country with magnificent natural scenery and enjoys the reputation of the world financial empire and watchmaking kingdom. In addition, Switzerland is a tourist attraction, attracting tourists from all over the world, and the tourism and hotel industry is very developed. Bern, the capital of Switzerland, and other big cities such as Geneva, Zurich and Lucerne are also world-famous.

1 1, the social order is good.

There is almost no crime in Switzerland, and even in the middle of the night, female students have no worries when walking in the suburbs. A stable social environment creates a good learning atmosphere for students.

12. Provide a "fast track" for people with unsatisfactory foreign languages.

For many foreign students, a "foreign language intensive course" is specially set up, that is, the preparatory course: generally 3-9 months, which is provided to students who are ready to be admitted to Swiss study abroad universities, beginners or intensive classes in German and French, or foreign students who have no language foundation and need to pass exams to enter universities, as well as students who improve their professional German and French level. Improving students' listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities provides a "fast track" for studying in Switzerland.

As the language of instruction in Swiss universities is mainly German or French, Swiss university preparatory schools provide bilingual teaching, and their language classes are also divided into German classes (Goethe Institute Language Certificate) and French classes (French Union Language Certificate).

13. Only proof of funds is needed.

To study in Switzerland, you only need to issue a capital certificate of RMB 65,438+00-65,438+05,000 according to the regulations of the school, and pay the tuition for half a year or one year, so you can apply for admission and go abroad, without all kinds of complicated guarantee procedures.

Extended reading: how to reduce the cost of studying in Switzerland

First, a one-time visa

Because it takes a certain amount of money and time to apply for a visa, if the visa is not passed, it means a waste of these costs. Unclear study plan, insufficient funds, poor language, etc. It may all be the reason for being refused a visa. Being refused a visa will not only delay your studies, but also lead to economic losses. Because once the visa is rejected, the application fee, international fax fee and express fee, pretreatment fee, visa fee and some students' study abroad loans can not be recovered, and it will cost money again to apply again, resulting in repeated consumption. Therefore, we should pay attention to the visa application review and succeed once.

If you want to successfully pass the visa review, there are two important points: first, you should carefully prepare the application materials; The second is to participate in some interview training to accumulate some experience and master communication skills.

Second, the scholarship application

There are many kinds of scholarships in foreign universities, and the funding is relatively large, and some even completely exempt students from tuition fees. For students with less favorable domestic economic conditions, if they can apply for scholarships, the bulk of the cost of studying abroad will basically be solved.

Students who want to apply for study abroad bonuses will have a lot of scholarship information of foreign universities on many websites related to study abroad, so they should pay more attention and understand. Generally, the number of applicants for scholarships is relatively small, and the competition will be extremely fierce. The earlier you apply, the better your chances of success.

Third, work-study programs.

Work-study program has always been a routine way for international students to solve their own economic problems. There are two ways to work while studying in Switzerland. One is doing odd jobs at school, also called part-time jobs. However, there will be a time limit and the salary will not be much. The general part-time salary is12–25 sfr an hour, which will be doubled on weekends or holidays. However, this method generally requires students to have relevant work experience and speak at least one language such as German, French and Italian. English is actually useless in Switzerland.

Another way of working is aimed at hotel management students, which is actually paid internship. Switzerland is not an immigrant country, so international students are generally not allowed to take part-time jobs. However, there is a special policy for students in this major, that is, students in this major have paid internship opportunities for up to half a year every year, and they can earn about 65438+100000 a month.

Fourth, apply for an international student ID card.

International student identity card, that is, ISIC card, is an internationally recognized student identity document, which gives preferential treatment in transportation, accommodation, food and so on. However,/kloc-students over 0/2 years old can apply.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) saves money on daily necessities.

If you are lucky enough to get a discount from the supermarket, you can buy more daily necessities that won't go bad so quickly, such as shampoo. Generally speaking, in Switzerland, like other European countries, Christmas is a discount season of scale, and this period is an opportunity to stock up.

First, language testing.

Language preparation is as important as learning. Learning belongs to what everyone has been doing, so there is no need to spend extra time. As the languages taught in Switzerland are mostly French, German and Italian, which are not covered by domestic students, they must be prepared in advance.

Registration training is the foundation. No matter which language it is, it is not difficult to learn. Even if you prepare in advance, you may not get a qualified report card in the exam. But if you pass the exam early, it is more likely that you will get the qualification certificate at one time.

Second, the material preparation

The formal material arrangement can start nine months before departure, and the paperwork needs to be earlier, because it needs to be written by yourself or others, and it takes a lot of time to revise it many times to get the final result.

Other academic and language materials will be obtained or applied for by themselves after the corresponding time; After the school's application channels are open, you should take the time to submit formal application forms and materials to confirm your application qualification.

Third, apply for a visa.

After submitting the application, you can start preparing for the study visa. The medical report and proof of funds in the materials need to be collected by you in person at the relevant institutions. You must ensure that your materials meet the time requirements, so you must look at the time.

After you get the qualification to study abroad, you can make an appointment to pay the visa. After you get the offer, you can go directly to the embassy to submit your application. It will take about a month to review. If you are in a hurry, you can spend money to hurry, and don't worry about delaying time.

Fourth, prepare to go abroad.

Preparation before going abroad is also divided into several steps. Everyone needs to arrange accommodation in advance, at least after arriving, buy a plane ticket after determining the time to go abroad, and make an appointment to pick up the plane, which will help everyone to go through the admission formalities as soon as possible.

Then you can enter the sorting of luggage going abroad. This part of the content needs to be considered to meet the requirements of flight. Don't bring anything forbidden to enter the country, and don't exceed the baggage allowance.
