Admision requirements

The conditions are very restrictive! In order to study in Switzerland, you must have not only a generous bank account but good academic references:
- A diploma from your secondary school studies in your country of origin with a certain level of distinction, or
- One or several years' university study in your country of origin.
Some students must also pass the Fribourg exam. This exam includes three required subjects: French, math, and history, plus two subjects chosen from the following fields: physics, chemistry, biology, geography, Latin, German, Italian, English. (The language categories change according to the linguistic zone.)

Private institutions generally require specific tests corresponding to the desired field of study, as well as language tests (French, German, or English). To get precise requirements, contact the school directly.
Even if you do not have to take the Fribourg test, you will surely have to take a language test if instruction is not in your mother tongue.
