Hi. I am looking for a university that teaches in English for my daughter who finishes school in South Africa this year.

AFAIK only master courses, bachelor courses are all in one of the Swiss languages

Thank you

Hi, if she is in Geneva, then she can attend Webster University ( www.webster.ch ). It's an American University located in Bellevue, Geneva, two minutes walk from the "Bellevue-Genthod" CFF station. Webster University in Geneva is one of 4 European Campuses of Webster University, St Louis ( www.webster.edu ) in Webster Groves, Missouri. The Geneva campus is very nice.

HTH

There a few bachelor's courses taught in English in some instituion in Luzern. Don't know the details, but the daughter of a friend of a friend is studying some form of engineering.

What subject is she planning to study?

There might be some options.

Only private universities (or advanced degrees) are in English.

Example: Franklin in Lugano, CHF 70k/year.

the University of St Gallen offers undergraduate degrees for English speakers.

You can choose from business administration, international affairs and economics at undergraduate level.

The workload is very demanding, yet the reputation of the institution and job chances are exceptional.

Take a look at Franklin University Switzerland. fus.edu

Founded in 1969 in Lugano (Italian speaking city, just across the northern Italy border) as specifically international in its curriculum and co-curriculum. Small size with dedicated faculty holding Ph.Ds or other terminal degrees from excellent universities around the world. Uses the American model of pedagogy--small classes, highly interactive. Students travel with faculty members each semester for 10-14 days in small groups to some part of the world to explore and interact, guided by a theme--e.g., neo-classical architecture in London, or the classical world in Rome. Travel costs are included in the tuition. It's curriculum is liberal arts with additional tracks in business (international finance, international banking for example) plus international relations. About half or so of the students come from the US, about 15% from Europe, 10% from the Middle East, and the rest from South America and Asia. About 60 countries represented.

It's the only institution of higher education in the world with both USA and Swiss accreditation at the university level.

As a private institution it has no Swiss government subsidies, so the costs are in line with others like it in Europe and the US. However, more than 60% of students are awarded financial assistance.

Yes, irregular in this case is more expensive. Strange that.

Hi Marischi
I have Swiss citizenship but my daughter does not yet.

Jo

If distance learning rather than traditional University is an option the Open University is worth considering:

sounds like expensive bullshit to me!

Then i guess she can get citizenship very quickly and enrollment will be much easier.

Thank you so much for all your replies. It has been so helpful. Hannah plans to study psychology type degree.
I am struggling with the prices , but will keep trying.

You are wanting to move to Switzerland.
How come?
Do you have a confirmed job?
Are you marrying a Swiss National?
Otherwise, it will not be that easy.

Languagewise: If you speak dutch or afrikaans, learning Swiss German or High German might be quite easy.
