Frequently Asked Questions

Can international students work while studying in Switzerland?

Yes. International students can usually work part-time while studying in Switzerland, subject to visa and permit regulations. EU students may also work up to 15 hours per week during the academic semester. Many hospitality and business programs also include paid internships as part of the curriculum, helping students gain valuable professional experience while studying.

Do Swiss universities offer paid internships?

Most Swiss hospitality and business programs include multiple paid internships arranged by their career offices as part of the curriculum.

In Switzerland, the monthly canton-guaranteed intern salary is CHF 2385 and employers often cover accommodation and meals.

Can you help with scholarships and student visas?

Yes. We can help strong students in securing even up to 25% scholarships at these institutions and are always happy to guide them throughout admissions and visa preparation.

Why should I study hospitality?

Working in tourism or in the broader service sector is never boring, every day is different, you get to travel all around the world for work and you get to contribute to other people’s happiness while making a good living.

Will AI or robotization take my hospitality or business management job?

Studying hospitality and business management is your AI and robotization-proof ticket to a safe, exciting and wealthy future, where most of the human jobs in other sectors will disappear. Nevertheless, people will always prefer the services of other people during their vacations, life events, fine dining experiences, luxury shopping trips and customer service.

For decades, practice-oriented Swiss hospitality universities have been focusing on teaching soft skills (leadership, communication, human relations, intercultural communication etc) which will not be replaced by robots or AI anytime soon.

How much does it cost to study in Switzerland?

Studying in top-ranked Swiss business & hospitality universities can be surprisingly affordable, especially compared to the UK or US. All inclusive costs covering not only your tuition, but also accommodation, food, airport transfers, health insurance and study materials start from only CHF 30,000/year.

Importantly, a significant part of this investment may already come back that same year thanks to the guaranteed paid internships arranged by the universities.

Our advisors help identify options that match your budget.

Do these universities offer summer or shorter certificate programs?

Yes, most of these elite all-inclusive Swiss universities offer shorter and more affordable summer and certificate programs starting from 2 weeks (CHF 3500) for high school students and for working professionals looking for a career change or specialization in their field to boost their skills and employability in Switzerland.

These short courses are also a perfect opportunity for you to find out whether Hospitality/Business or Culinary are the right areas for you and to get a feel of living and studying on campus in Switzerland. Most of these courses can be then credited to a degree, which makes them the perfect first step into your future.
