maroctam Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Im afraid all 12 public universities dont offer bachleors in english. ETHZ requires 38 points, and all bachleors courses are in german. EPFL requires 38 points too and has bachleor courses in both english and french, so knowledge of both languages is recommended, though only french is required. The other 10 public universities all require 32 points are funded by their cantonal government and offer courses in their cantons official language. Hope this helps. Heres more information if you understand french and/or german: http://www.crus.ch/information-programme/recognition-swiss-enic/zulassung/zulassung-in-der-schweiz/baccalaureat-international.html?L=2 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well guess i will have to remove switzerland as one of my options for future uni. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely Positively Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 I don't know about Germany or France, but as far as I know ETHZ requires 38 points without the three bonus points (same goes for EPFL). Plus, I know a guy who did the IB in Germany, got 45 points and still had to take an extra exam to get in. But you could apply for a Master Degree at any Swiss university, since they're all in English. 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
