Cost of Living for Students
Now, the cost of living in Switzerland does come down to what the student likes to do for daily activities. Why? Because there are so many recreational activities available in Switzerland, it may feel a bit overwhelming to some. But this does mean that students need to budget accordingly.
Students are advised to keep a near $2,000 USD for all monthly expenses. Because Switzerland is a richer country that it’s European neighbors, that means the currency will be higher than most as well.
Tuition Cost and Expectance
Students can expect the tuition cost to average between (for public universities for both Bachelor’s – Master’s programs) 500 – 4,000 EUR per year. This means the average semester would be anywhere from 300 – 1,000 EUR per year. The program a student picks will greatly decide how much tuition cost will accumulate to as a total amount.
Languages Spoken in Switzerland
What languages are spoken in Switzerland? Many students will be happy to know that German, Romansh, French, Italian, Swiss, and English are often spoken throughout the country. We do highly encourage students to learn the native language of the country they will chose to study in for two factors: One this is highly respectful of the student to take it upon themselves to learn another language and it will help the transition from one country to another. Secondly, learning another language can open many opportunities that a student may otherwise not have experienced before.
