Admission Requirements

Swiss school-leaving certificates received in Switzerland and abroad

  • Maturità federale and Maturità cantonale recognised by the appropriate Federal Commission;
  • Maturità commerciale cantonale (Scuola cantonale di commercio, Bellinzona);
  • Final diploma from a university of applied sciences or diploma of a technical college recognised by the appropriate federal authorities: in these cases, where the field of study selected is the same as the previous one, the single Faculties may recommend admitting candidates to an advanced level of the programme and exempt them from particular examinations or from the internship period. 
  • School-leaving certificates issued by Swiss schools abroad are equally accepted.

Foreign diplomas  

Applicants in possession of foreign secondary education and/or of a foreign university diploma considered to be equivalent are admitted to the undergraduate programme. As a rule, reference is made to the guidelines of the University Admissions Commission of the Rectors’ Conference of the Swiss Universities (swissuniversities). Where equivalence cannot be unequivocally defined, candidates may be invited to attend an interview or to sit a test, and supplementary, pre-university courses may be prescribed.

  1. Classical Gymnasium (or Lyceum);
  2. Scientific Lyceum;
  3. Language Lyceum;
  4. Social sciences (or Humanities) Lyceum.

The following secondary education diplomas are also considered equivalent:
