The admission committee of your chosen university may well consider your request. You need to provide a TestDAF certificate for knowledge of the German language, a report card with the results of studies with grades. However, usually foreign students are enrolled for 1 course - this is a common practice associated with the difference in educational systems.
You can apply for a place in the Master's program , if you received a bachelor's degree in the same specialty - "International Relations". You must provide the admission committee with the following documents:
The documents must be sent before August 30, and the electronic pre-order is from February 1 to April 30.
On any, except medical faculty.
You must prepare a certificate of secondary education in the Russian school, a certificate of knowledge of the French language , as well as confirmation of training in a Russian university for 2 years.
You must provide a bachelor's degree in the relevant field. In the application you must, in addition to the rest of the information, prove the equivalence of the specialty you receive to the one you send to - a special form is usually provided for this. The rest of the documents are standard, their complete list for you will be clarified by our specialist (the package may vary slightly depending on the institution you want to enroll in).
To prove the admissions committee a sufficient level of your knowledge of the French language , it is enough to have DELF or DALF certificates .
All documents requiring certification must pass through an official notary or be certified directly in the embassy of Switzerland .
No, if you do not have time to go through all the stages of enrollment, including "conditional", you are not allowed to study.
The CV must be up to 2 printed pages.
Usually English is taught by the Bachelor of Arts course. For master's programs, the choice is more: Master of Arts / Languages, Master of Science in Actuarial Science / Economics; Also in English the Master of Science in Finance / Management programs are taught, but for them to study they will still need a good level of French, since some of the disciplines are read in French .
You will need to translate and officially certify both your diploma and the subjects listed in it. If you want to transfer scores in some disciplines to a new institution , then in the Application Form you must put a note on the need to confirm the equivalent. For example, the University of Lausanne sends an additional form, which fills your university.
All letters of recommendation must be printed on the letterhead of your university, with its stamp and signature of the authorized person. Usually, letters are received from teachers, employees of the dean's office and the administration.
Specifically, there is no hostel at the University of Lausanne: the university helps to find a rented apartment (room, apartment, apartment), its cost is about 500 CHF per month.
University of Lausanne, like most Swiss universities, includes directly in the cost of training and using the entire infrastructure: libraries, laboratories, computer classes, etc. Accommodation and meals are paid separately according to the capabilities of a particular student.
Most faculties, especially applied sciences, provide their students with the opportunity to study and practice, gaining useful experience. Many national and international companies, knowing about the prestige of the university and the quality of its educational programs, leave applications for specialists of a specific orientation - and a student who is eligible according to the stated criteria can claim this place.
All the required information you can find on the pages of our catalog - on the site you tried to post the answers to all your questions. Our specialist will give you a full free consultation on the issues of admission to Switzerland , will help to choose an educational institution and program, according to your needs and requirements, opportunities and goals.
In order to successfully study at a Swiss university , you really need to know French or German well , depending on the language in which the training will be conducted. The university itself will tell you the main subjects of the program of this or that faculty, and you will be able to choose the preparatory course precisely in these areas. Our specialist will help you with a choice, if you find it difficult to navigate in the variety of offers.
Your specialty - "Hospitality and Tourism" - is extremely popular and in demand in Switzerland , so there are a lot of training offers. From prestigious and rating options we can offer you Les Roches, Glion , Cezar Ritz , HIM , IHTTI . Requirements for applicants may vary depending on the institution chosen. In general, the admission committee needs your certificate of sufficient English, a motivation letter ( it is written by the student himself ), a certificate of full secondary education. As for the cost, there are also a number of influencing factors, but you can target a figure of 35,000 CHF for the academic year.
Many federal universities in Switzerland highly value the A-level certificate . At the EPFL university you have, there is a required program: it is mostly conducted in French , but about a third of the lectures are in English , so you need to know two languages. After receiving a Swiss Bachelor's Diploma, you can apply for a Master's degree (entirely in English). You can find exact requirements for admission on the university's website (they can be edited a little from year to year) - our specialist will help you to collect the required documents, translate them and fill out the application correctly.
Of course, you will be able to conclude a contract with us remotely, not being in Russia, and we will help you enroll in the chosen university to the required specialty. Pay attention to the private universities of Webster University and Franklin College (they are in Switzerland ). Webster University has the specialty "International Relations", and here there are elective courses on Eastern countries; Franklin College provides the direction "Political Science" - there are some subjects like "International Relations", "Politics of the Near and Middle East". But these disciplines are usually read in German or French , so you will have to bring up the linguistic skills and skills to the required level.
We recommend focusing not on Russian-language sources, where information can be distorted, but on official websites of Swiss universities . If necessary, our manager will recheck for you information about a particular school.
For your situation we can advise training in the higher schools of the hotel business - there are a lot of them in Switzerland , as the direction is quite popular, developed and popular. To enter such a school, you need to confirm your knowledge of English and your desire to work and develop precisely in the field of tourism; Knowledge of the second foreign language is desirable, but not necessarily.
For a more accurate answer, we need to know the specialty for which you plan to arrive in Switzerland . Both in Lausanne and in Geneva the official language is French, so the training of undergraduates is likely to be conducted in French, and only electives in English. You need to improve the knowledge of the French language and confirm it with the appropriate certificate (for example, DALF ), giving it to the admissions committee.
We provide enrollment and income services absolutely free of charge through direct cooperation with all institutions represented on our website. In the UK and Switzerland there is no free education for foreigners - if you are interested in free programs, they are ready to pick up proposals for you in other European countries (there are English versions there).
If you stop at the specialty "Hospitality and Tourism" - choose Switzerland, here these areas are very developed and in demand. You will need to confirm a good level of English by providing an IELTS or TOEFL certificate. If the "International relations" is more important, in Switzerland this direction is conducted either in German or in French - studying in English of this specialty is possible only in Great Britain.
Graduates of the Russian school, before entering the universities of England or Switzerland , must at least two years to study at a Russian university for a similar specialty. An alternative is an international course abroad - for example, A-level or IB , they are offered by the vast majority of private boarding schools or international colleges. There is also an option to take the course of the Foundation : it is designed for only one year, in contrast to the two-year IB or A-level, but limits the number of institutions where you can apply.
The cost of training varies considerably and depends on many factors. With quotations you can find in the relevant section of our site - we indicated the price of each program of each institution and the amount of additional fees and fees.
Yes, ETH Zurich, like any federal state university in Switzerland, requires from Russian entrants at least 2 years of education in a Russian university. Also you will need to demonstrate a good level of German (international certificate with points no lower than B2) for successful training and personal interviews.
Studying in Ireland , you studied in English and received English secondary education . Proceeding from this, we suggest that you pay attention to private universities, where there are many programs in English. Federal state universities usually teach in German or French, sometimes Italian (depending on the canton in which the university is located). Be ready to provide the admissions committee with an international certificate of language proficiency (minimum B2).
In addition to excellent academic training (and these are grades above the average), you will need an excellent knowledge of a foreign language - in Switzerland it is French, German or Italian (depending on the canton where the university is located). You have about a year to learn the language, but, alas, as practice shows, this is often not enough. We recommend that you spend more time on the training process.
Training in the magistracy is possible in English in several specialties, but only after the completion of higher education (bachelor's) at home.
The MBA is an advanced training program for senior and middle managers, managers and managers: here you need to show real work experience (usually from 2 years), and not just the diploma of yesterday's student - the latter will not be enough.
At the University of Geneva you indicated, all undergraduate programs and most master's programs are taught in French, so you definitely need to get and present a DELF or DALF certificate with points from B2 and above. The rest of the package of documents depends on the selected year of admission and your level of academic preparation - details for you will be clarified by the manager when the direction, university and deadline will be finally chosen.
Alas, the Foundation course is mostly invalid for Swiss universities - you will have to finish two courses at a Russian university in a similar specialty (equivalent to the one you are planning to enroll in St. Gallen).
Your educational level is sufficient for the higher schools of the hotel business in Switzerland : the approximate cost of the term is 28000 CHF, and the accommodation is 3000-5000 CHF per term (depending on the chosen level - hotel, room, apartment or studio, apartment, comfort level, food etc.). Additional costs and fees we register in each profile of the educational institution posted on our website. We will help you find the best option for you and choose a good institution, based on your requirements and goals.
The decision to enroll you in a given course is taken by the directly selected university . If the admissions committee finds that your volume of studied disciplines is sufficient and you have good, high academic scores, you can start the training immediately in the magistracy.
Yes, there are such universities and faculties - pay attention to such universities as European University , Webster, Franklin College.
In general, if your academic results are high enough and you have a DAF language certificate (level C1 and above), you can go to the University of St. Gallen immediately after grade 11. But at the same time, two university courses passed in Greece are a tangible advantage for the Swiss Admissions Committee (taking into account training for a similar specialty).
The educational system in Switzerland , including the higher one , is excellently developed and adjusted, therefore almost all universities have high national and world ratings and ratings. Concerning economic disciplines, we recommend that you pay attention to the University of St. Gallen.
In general, the state universities of the country are quite loyal to foreign students. You need to confirm your high academic and language level: if the admissions committee deems it sufficient, you can be admitted to the specialty "Banking", and immediately to the magistracy, but this question is always decided individually (depends on the student and the institution). If you are looking for a master's degree in English, be sure to prepare an international IELTS certificate (score from 7.0); You will also need to know French, German or Italian at a household level sufficient for communication (the choice of language depends on the canton where the training is planned). For a second higher education you will need a very high level of the official language of your chosen canton.
Be attentive to the university entrance requirements and follow them exactly. Remember that it may take up to 2-3 months for you to obtain a study visa to Switzerland, so please consider this issue in advance.
The academic year is divided into trimesters: autumn (from September 15 to December 19), spring (from February 16 to May 29). Vacations are waiting for students from 9 to 20 April, and for examinations there are separate credit periods (9 - 31 January, 8 June - 4 July, 17 August - 5 September).
Universities in Switzerland do not help students get the coveted Permit B, this task lies entirely on the shoulders of entrants.
The assessment of the work of students is carried out with the help of ECTS educational credits (credit units). For each subject and direction, a certain number of credits can be obtained: they are credited for attendance (and lectures, and seminars), test results and practical work, the quality of performing independent work. For 1 year you can collect up to 60 credits (1 credit - about 25-30 hours of work).
