Santino1:

I seriously doubt the veracity of that claim. It shouldn't take more than a month at the most.

@ misssweety with all the ifo I have gathered so far, I don't think I would be able To wait thAt long for A permit , I would rather go for a UK visa its kind of easier and straight forward.

Beehandz: @ Miss-sweety86.

I must commend ur effort on this thread.
Pls do any University or Ploytechnicz in swizz offers PGD in earth sci Courses like Geology or Geophysics or GIS?

miss-sweety86:
We have 2 polytechnical schools one in Lausanne and the other one in Zurich
http://epfl.ch/index.en.html
http://www.ethz.ch/index_EN

I'm not sure they offer Geology because it's very technic and I'm not really sure about their terms.... I studied social sciences so I'm not a technic person.

Here is the list of all the programmes taught in English in Swiss universities

mcleona: hi everyone, am thinking of spending part of my summer at flawil switzerland, can i have an idea of how life is around there accommodation and feeding.

miss-sweety86:


you should visit the webiste crus.ch and unil.ch (you can browse it in English. If you want to know whether you can still apply, I advise you to contct directly the faculty at UNIl or their international office. It s good that you already know a little bit French. Let me know if I can help you. I m swiss and I studied at Unil for my bachelor. When you receive an information from someone you should try to confirm with the school or uni just to be sure. \

Good luck

miss-sweety86:


accomodation and food are pretty much expensive. If you come as a tourist, I advise you to have quite a large sum of money. Life is expensive in Switzerland.

I m coming back next week so I ll be able to give you more information if you need.
