Help to obtain an education or training in Switzerland

11.08.2023

Young Swiss Abroad receive personal counselling on the topic of education in Switzerland.

Every year, the staff of educationsuisse receive numerous inquiries from Swiss citizens abroad or from their relatives and friends in Switzerland. Most questions concern scholarship opportunities and university studies.

However, educationsuisse also receives a wide variety of questions about vocational training, finding an apprenticeship, accommodation, insurance and the language skills required. What often becomes apparent is that owing to the rather high cost of living in Switzerland, financing an education can be a problem. However, a solution can always be found. The educationsuisse service offers free advice and support in the search for suitable education or training solutions:

  • Information relating to different educational options such as university studies or vocational training
  • Information relating to specific questions regarding admission requirements, required language skills, deadlines, accommodation, insurances, etc.
  • Individual counselling on site in Berne or online regarding education in Switzerland
  • Vocational and study counselling in cooperation with a professional career counselling provider (fee-based)
  • Assistance in applying for cantonal scholarships and administrative support
  • Financial help (grants/loans) from educationsuisse and private foundations

The educationsuisse staff speak English, German, French, Italian and Spanish. They will be glad to help and answer questions about education in Switzerland via email, telephone or Skype, or on site in Berne.
