Kann ich als Ausländer in der Schweiz studieren?

You can study in Switzerland at Universities, Universities of Applied Sciences and other higher education institutions, provided you are admitted and can pay the fees. For education, training and continuing education, further training in Switzerland you need a residence permit, which you must apply for from your municipality of residence no later than two weeks after entering Switzerland. To do this, you apply for a residence permit without gainful employment, which is valid for one year and can be renewed annually for as long as you are studying. In addition, you must be able to prove that you will be able to support yourself financially during your studies, i.e. that you will not be dependent on social benefits, even in the event of illness or an accident. You can obtain detailed information on this from the cantonal migration authorities.
