National student fee

All students (short-cycle, first and second cycle) pay fees. Higher education institutions define their own fees. Fees usually comprise fees for administration (admission, registration, certification) and tuition. Additional contributions for examinations, libraries, sport facilities, social and cultural institutions are possible.

Students on leave of absence, medical students during their placement year, doctoral students pay reduced fees.

Students in difficult economic circumstances or part-time students can apply for a waiver or reduction of tuition fees at most higher education institutions.

There are no short cycle programmes in public or publicly subsidised higher education institutions in Switzerland.

Some higher education institutions charge higher fees for students from EU and beyond.
