study in switzerland - Overview

There are 12 recognized universities awarding doctorate degrees in Switzerland. This guide provides the most important information on these universities.

In addition to the 12 universities, there are also further types of universities that are not covered here: 9 universities of applied sciences, 14 universities of teacher education and several university institutes receiving financial support from the Swiss Confederation. The institutes include mainly the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (IHEID) in Geneva, the Swiss Graduate School of Public Administration (IDHEAP) in Lausanne, Institut Universitaire Kurt Bösch (IUKB) in Sion and Stiftung Universitäre Fernstudien Schweiz (distance higher education) in Brig.

Switzerland also offers courses of study at a number of private universities and institutes. These courses of study and degrees are not nationally accredited, however. As many of the offerings of these institutions are not sound, it is important to choose institutions and programmes carefully.
