15. Tuition Fees & Cost of Living in Switzerland
• University fees might seem nominal compared to the
Anglo-Saxon system. Some universities require foreign
students to pay an additional fee, a pittance when
compared to the actual cost of a student to the society,
which varies by faculty between SFR 50,000 and SFR
150,000 per year.
• A student’s monthly budget amounts to approximately
SFR 1,800: food and upkeep from SFR 800 to SFR 850,
lodging SFR 400 to SFR 600, tuition fees and supplies,
transportation and insurance (approximately SFR 250).
Students should be aware that several payments fall due
simultaneously at the onset of their standard of living.

16. Scholarships for Studying in Switzerland
Various scholarships for studying in Switzerland are
offered through bilateral agreements between
governments or universities or within the frame of a pool.
Scholarships are granted to postgraduate candidates
from both industrial and developing countries.Candidates
should, in the first instance, find out from their own
country's authorities whether they are entitled to a
governmental scholarship or should approach the Swiss
embassy or consulate in their home country. The
universities themselves can supply information about
scholarships which they may give.

17. Language in Switzerland
• The national languages of Switzerland are German
(North, Central and Eastern Switzerland), French
(Western Switzerland), Italian (Southern Switzerland)
and Romansh - a derivative of Latin (South-Eastern
Switzerland). It is possible to study in all three official
languages in Switzerland. A good knowledge of the
language of instruction is required. English is widely
spoken in Switzerland.
