近幾年為何瑞士的留學(xué)人數(shù)逐年增加，原因除了條件寬松、社會(huì)治安良好、不需托福成績(jī)以外，最主要還是有很多頂尖的大學(xué)，跟著出國(guó)留學(xué)網(wǎng)一起來(lái)了解下2018年瑞士留學(xué)實(shí)用申請(qǐng)指南吧。
Switzerland is home to one of Europe’s most prestigious higher education systems, including continental Europe’s two highest entries in the QS World University Rankings? 2018 – ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) and Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) are both placed among the world’s top 15. Additional attractions to study in Switzerland come from the postcard-perfect beauty found throughout the nation, which is especially known for its magnificent Alpine mountains and dazzling lakes. With four official languages, it’s a true European melting pot, and consistently ranks among the world’s leaders on measures of quality of life.
瑞士是歐洲最負(fù)盛名的高等教育系統(tǒng)包括2018年QS世界大學(xué)排行榜歐洲大陸排名最高的兩個(gè)大學(xué)：蘇黎世聯(lián)邦理工學(xué)院(瑞士聯(lián)邦理工學(xué)院)和洛桑聯(lián)邦理工(EPFL)都處于世界排名前15名之列。在瑞士學(xué)習(xí)的額外景點(diǎn)來(lái)自全國(guó)各地發(fā)現(xiàn)的明信片完美的美麗，這一美景因其雄偉的高山和令人眼花繚亂的湖泊而聞名。有了四種官方語(yǔ)言，這是一個(gè)真正的歐洲大熔爐，在生活質(zhì)量的衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)上，一直是世界各國(guó)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人之一。聽(tīng)起來(lái)不錯(cuò)嗎?然后，也許瑞士是你出國(guó)留學(xué)的目的地，跟著出國(guó)留學(xué)網(wǎng)一起了解更多信息吧。
一、瑞士四大頂尖大學(xué)簡(jiǎn)介
Nine universities in Switzerland are featured in the QS World University Rankings 2018, all of which rank in the top 550. ETH Zurich and EPFL, both within the global top 15, are joined by five more Swiss universities ranked among the world’s top 200. This is even more impressive when you consider that the population of the entire country is just 8.4 million (for comparison, that’s about the same as that of the US state of Virginia).As well as having a strong presence in the international ranking tables, universities in Switzerland are also very international in terms of their student and academic communities. Four of the eight ranked Swiss universities make the world’s top 100 for their percentage of international students, and the country also performs well when comparing the percentage of international academic staff members to universities in other countries.
The following four universities in Switzerland are all ranked in the world’s top 100:
瑞士有9所大學(xué)在2018年QS世界大學(xué)排名中名列前茅，所有排名都在前550名。蘇黎世和EPFL都進(jìn)入了全球前15名，躋身世界前200名的瑞士大學(xué)也有5所。當(dāng)你考慮到整個(gè)國(guó)家的人口只有840萬(wàn)(相比之下，這相當(dāng)于美國(guó)弗吉尼亞州的人口)，這就更加令人印象深刻了。瑞士的大學(xué)不僅在國(guó)際排名中占有一席之地，而且在學(xué)生和學(xué)術(shù)團(tuán)體方面也非常國(guó)際化。在瑞士的8所大學(xué)中，有4所的國(guó)際學(xué)生比例在世界排名前100，而在國(guó)際學(xué)術(shù)工作人員的比例與其他國(guó)家的大學(xué)相比，這個(gè)國(guó)家的表現(xiàn)也很好。
瑞士的四所大學(xué)排名世界前100名:
1.瑞士聯(lián)邦理工學(xué)院ETH Zurich
Switzerland’s highest-ranked university, ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) is currently placed 10th in the world and is the only non-UK European university to rank within the global top 10. The university was founded in 1855, and is well established as a leader in scientific and technical fields, with connections to an impressive 21 Nobel laureates. Today, more than 19,000 students study at ETH Zurich, studying at two campuses – one in the center of Zurich, and one on the outskirts. In the QS World University Rankings by Subject, ETH Zurich is currently ranked fifth in the world for the engineering and technology broad subject area, and sixth for natural sciences. Teaching at undergraduate level is mainly in German, while most master’s courses are English-led.
瑞士排名最高的大學(xué)，蘇黎世(瑞士聯(lián)邦理工學(xué)院)目前在世界排名第十，是唯一一個(gè)在全球排名前十的歐洲大學(xué)。這所大學(xué)成立于1855年，在科學(xué)和技術(shù)領(lǐng)域是一個(gè)很好的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者與21位令人印象深刻的諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)得主有聯(lián)系。今天，有19000多名學(xué)生在蘇黎世大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)，在兩個(gè)校區(qū)學(xué)習(xí)——一個(gè)在蘇黎世中心，一個(gè)在郊區(qū)。在QS世界大學(xué)(QS World University)的學(xué)科排名中，蘇黎世大學(xué)目前在全球工程和技術(shù)學(xué)科領(lǐng)域排名第五，在自然科學(xué)領(lǐng)域排名第六。本科階段的教學(xué)主要是德語(yǔ)，而大部分碩士課程都是英語(yǔ)教學(xué)。
2.洛桑聯(lián)邦理工學(xué)院(Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne)
The second of the two Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology, the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) was established slightly earlier than ETH Zurich, in 1853, and follows close behind in the international rankings tables. It’s placed 12th in the world in the QS World University Rankings 2018, and in the QS World University Rankings by Subject comes 12th for engineering and technology and 11th for natural sciences. Since Lausanne is in a French-speaking part of Switzerland, most courses offered are in French, though there are also some programs in English. About half the size of ETH Zurich, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne currently teaches about 10,500 students.
瑞士聯(lián)邦理工學(xué)院的排名第二名，(EPFL)在1853年比蘇黎世(ETH Zurich)稍早成立，緊隨其后的是國(guó)際排名表。在2018年QS世界大學(xué)排名中排名第12位，在QS世界大學(xué)的排名中，工程和科技排名第12位，自然科學(xué)排名第11位。由于洛桑在瑞士法語(yǔ)區(qū)，大部分課程都是法語(yǔ)，不過(guò)也有一些英語(yǔ)課程。洛桑聯(lián)邦理工學(xué)院的規(guī)模約為蘇黎世大學(xué)的一半，目前大約有10500名學(xué)生。
3.蘇黎世大學(xué)University of Zurich
With around 25,500 students, the University of Zurich is the largest university in Switzerland, and lays claim to the country’s largest selection of study programs. Currently ranked joint 73rd in the world, it conducts teaching and research across a broader subject spectrum than the more specialized ETH Zurich and EPFL, with facilities spread throughout the city of Zurich. With public outreach at the heart of its mission, the University of Zurich runs an impressive selection of museums, public libraries, collections, events and educational programs, including a Children’s University and Senior Citizens’ University.
蘇黎世大學(xué)擁有25500名學(xué)生，是瑞士最大的大學(xué)，并聲稱擁有全國(guó)最大的研究項(xiàng)目。它目前在世界排名第73位，它在一個(gè)更廣泛的主題范圍內(nèi)進(jìn)行教學(xué)和研究，而不是更專業(yè)的蘇黎世和EPFL，這些設(shè)施遍布整個(gè)蘇黎世。在公共服務(wù)中心，蘇黎世大學(xué)的博物館、公共圖書館、收藏品、活動(dòng)和教育項(xiàng)目，包括一所兒童大學(xué)和高級(jí)公民大學(xué)，都有令人印象深刻的選擇。
4.瑞士日內(nèi)瓦大學(xué)University of Geneva
Among both the largest and the oldest universities in Switzerland, the University of Geneva was established in 1559. It stands at joint 98th in the QS World University Rankings 2018, and is located in Geneva, the second-largest Swiss city after Zurich. It offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs across a broad range of subjects. Teaching at bachelor’s level is mainly in French, while many master’s courses are led in English.Also ranked among the world’s top universities are the University of Lausanne, University of Basel, University of Bern, University of St Gallen (HSG) and Université de Fribourg; the first three are all within the global top 200, while the University of St Gallen is 372nd and the Université de Fribourg is new in 2018 at 501-550.
在瑞士最大的大學(xué)和最古老的大學(xué)中，日內(nèi)瓦大學(xué)成立于1559年。它在2018年QS世界大學(xué)排名第98位，位于瑞士第二大城市日內(nèi)瓦，僅次于蘇黎世。它在廣泛的學(xué)科范圍內(nèi)提供本科和研究生課程。本科階段的教學(xué)主要是法語(yǔ)，而許多碩士課程都是用英語(yǔ)授課。此外，世界頂尖大學(xué)還包括瑞士洛桑大學(xué)、巴塞爾大學(xué)、伯爾尼大學(xué)、圣加倫大學(xué)和弗里堡大學(xué);前三名都在全球前200名，圣加侖大學(xué)是第372名，而弗里堡大學(xué)的排名則是2018年的501 - 550名。
二、最適合留學(xué)的五大城市
A relatively small and landlocked country in the center of Europe, Switzerland is known for its modern cities, stunningly beautiful mountains and lakes, high quality of living, and delicious milk chocolate. With four official national languages and 25% of the Swiss population coming from outside the country, bilingualism and multiculturalism are at the core of daily life here.Discover Switzerland’s major student cities:
瑞士是歐洲中部一個(gè)相對(duì)較小的內(nèi)陸國(guó)家，以其現(xiàn)代化的城市而聞名，美麗的山脈和湖泊，高質(zhì)量的生活，美味的牛奶巧克力。有四種官方語(yǔ)言，25%的瑞士人口來(lái)自國(guó)外，雙語(yǔ)和多元文化是這里日常生活的核心。發(fā)現(xiàn)瑞士主要的學(xué)生城市:
1.蘇黎世Zurich
Switzerland’s largest city, Zurich is well-known as one of the world’s major financial centers, home to the fourth largest stock exchange and the headquarters of many international companies. Located at the tip of Lake Zurich, this urban hub offers plenty of opportunities to explore the beautiful Swiss landscape, with its mixture of historic and modern buildings set against a backdrop of hills and mountains. The cost of living, as in Switzerland in general, is high, but for international students this may be offset by the country’s relatively low tuition fees. The main language in this part of Switzerland is German.Universities in Zurich include two of Switzerland’s highest-ranked: ETH Zurich (The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) and the University of Zurich, which are ranked 10th and joint 73rd respectively in the QS World University Rankings 2018.
蘇黎世是瑞士最大的城市，是世界上最大的金融中心之一，也是世界第四大證券交易所和許多跨國(guó)公司總部所在地。這個(gè)城市中心位于蘇黎世湖的頂端，提供了大量的機(jī)會(huì)去探索美麗的瑞士風(fēng)景，它的混合了歷史和現(xiàn)代建筑，背景是山丘和山脈。一般來(lái)說(shuō)，瑞士的生活成本很高，但對(duì)國(guó)際學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)，這可能被該國(guó)相對(duì)較低的學(xué)費(fèi)所抵消。瑞士這個(gè)地區(qū)的主要語(yǔ)言是德語(yǔ)。蘇黎世的大學(xué)包括瑞士排名最高的兩所大學(xué):蘇黎世大學(xué)(瑞士聯(lián)邦理工學(xué)院)和蘇黎世大學(xué)，它們?cè)?018年QS世界大學(xué)排名中分別排名第10名和第73名。
2.洛桑Lausanne
Based in the French-speaking region of Switzerland, Lausanne is a culturally rich city, and, like Zurich, it boasts a stunning lake-side location, on the shores of Lake Geneva. It’s Switzerland’s fifth-largest city, known for its historic medieval center with a grand gothic cathedral at its heart, its close proximity to a number of ski resorts, and its lively arts scene. Lausanne is also the home of the International Olympic Committee, hosts a museum dedicated to the Olympic Games, and is currently bidding to host the 2020 Youth Winter Olympics. Its popularity among tourists and its significant student population both contribute to its vibrant nightlife.The main two universities in Lausanne are the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (12th in the QS World University Rankings 2018) and the University of Lausanne (146th).
在瑞士的法語(yǔ)區(qū)，洛桑是一個(gè)文化富裕的城市，就像蘇黎世一樣，它在日內(nèi)瓦湖岸邊擁有令人驚嘆的湖岸位置。它是瑞士第五大城市，以其歷史悠久的中世紀(jì)中心而聞名，它的心臟有一座宏偉的哥特式大教堂，它與許多滑雪勝地的距離很近，而且它的藝術(shù)場(chǎng)景也很熱鬧。洛桑也是國(guó)際奧委會(huì)的所在地，主辦了一個(gè)專門為奧運(yùn)會(huì)舉辦的博物館，目前正在申辦2020年的青年冬季奧運(yùn)會(huì)。它在游客中很受歡迎，而且它的學(xué)生數(shù)量也很可觀，這都有助于它充滿活力的夜生活。洛桑主要的兩所大學(xué)是洛桑聯(lián)邦理工學(xué)院(位于2018年QS世界大學(xué)排名第12名)和洛桑大學(xué)(第146名)。
3.日內(nèi)瓦Geneva
Lying between the lake with which it shares its name and the French border, Geneva is the center of Francophone Switzerland. It is known on the international stage as one of the world’s main centers of diplomacy, home to the second-largest base of the United Nations and an impressive number of NGOs. Like other Swiss cities, Geneva is among the pricier study abroad destinations out there, but in return you’ll get to enjoy a comfortable, safe and cosmopolitan environment, all while studying at one of the world’s top universities. Geneva’s highest-ranked university is the University of Geneva (joint 98th in the world).
在它與它的名字和法國(guó)邊境的湖之間，日內(nèi)瓦是法語(yǔ)瑞士的中心。它在國(guó)際舞臺(tái)上被稱為世界主要外交中心之一，是聯(lián)合國(guó)第二大基地和令人印象深刻的非政府組織的所在地。與其他瑞士城市一樣，日內(nèi)瓦是海外留學(xué)目的地中最昂貴的城市之一，但作為回報(bào)，你將在世界頂尖大學(xué)的一所大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)，享受一個(gè)舒適、安全、國(guó)際化的環(huán)境。日內(nèi)瓦大學(xué)排名最高，是日內(nèi)瓦大學(xué)(世界排名第98位)。
4.伯爾尼Bern
Known for its relatively relaxed pace of life, Bern is the federal capital of Switzerland, and its fourth most-populous city. The city’s pretty Old Town, with charming cobbled streets and 15th century buildings, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While there’s no neighboring lake, there is the meandering River Aare, and plenty of hiking trails in the surrounding hills and mountains. There’s also a good selection of museums and galleries, including the modern art-dedicated Paul Klee Centre, and enough bars and nightclubs to keep most people busy. Bern’s highest-ranked institution is the University of Bern, at 167th in the QS World University Rankings 2018.
伯爾尼以相對(duì)輕松的生活節(jié)奏聞名于世，是瑞士的聯(lián)邦首都，也是第四個(gè)人口最多的城市。這座城市的老城，有著迷人的鵝卵石街道和15世紀(jì)的建筑，是聯(lián)合國(guó)教科文組織世界遺產(chǎn)。雖然沒(méi)有鄰近的湖泊，但有蜿蜒的河流Aare，還有許多在周圍的山丘和山脈上的徒步小徑。這里也有很多博物館和畫廊，包括現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)專用的保羅·克利中心，還有足夠多的酒吧和夜總會(huì)讓大多數(shù)人都很忙。伯爾尼排名最高的大學(xué)是伯爾尼大學(xué)，在2018年QS世界大學(xué)排名中排名第167位。
5.巴塞爾Basel
Situated towards the north of the country near to both the French and German borders, Basel is perhaps the ideal city for those keen to explore several other European nations during their stay. Switzerland’s third most-populous city, Basel is known as the center of the Swiss chemical and pharmaceutical industries, and also as a significant hub for culture, particularly music. It is home, for instance, to the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, an international center dedicated to the study of music from the medieval period through to the baroque periods.The highest-ranked university in Basel is the University of Basel, which comes in at joint 149th place in the QS World University Rankings 2018, and which is the country’s oldest university.
巴塞爾位于該國(guó)北部，靠近法國(guó)和德國(guó)邊境，對(duì)于那些渴望在逗留期間探索其他歐洲國(guó)家的人來(lái)說(shuō)，巴塞爾或許是理想的城市。瑞士第三大人口城市巴塞爾被認(rèn)為是瑞士化學(xué)和制藥工業(yè)的中心，也是文化，尤其是音樂(lè)的重要中心。例如，它是一個(gè)國(guó)際中心，致力于研究中世紀(jì)時(shí)期到巴洛克時(shí)期的音樂(lè)。巴塞爾大學(xué)是巴塞爾大學(xué)排名最高的大學(xué)，它在2018年QS世界大學(xué)排名中并列第149位，是該國(guó)最古老的大學(xué)。
三、簽證及費(fèi)用等相關(guān)問(wèn)題解讀
There is no centralized application procedure for international students, so to apply to study in Switzerland you’ll need to make direct contact with each university. You will be able to apply online, and universities’ international and admissions offices should be available to help you if you have any problems. Make sure you check the language requirements of the courses you’re applying to; this is a country with four official languages after all! German, French and English (particularly at graduate level) predominate.
If you’re from outside of the EU/EFTA:
You will need to apply for a multiple entry long stay visa (Visa D) from your local Swiss embassy. You must allow at least three months for your visa to process, so make sure you apply in plenty of time.The embassy will tell you specifically what you need to provide in order to obtain your visa, but it is likely to be similar to the above list for obtaining a residence permit. You will be allowed six months to find a job in Switzerland after completing your degree, and will be able to get a work visa if you succeed.Within 14 days of your arrival you must apply for a residence permit. See above for what you’ll need to provide.
Fees and funding Fees and funding Switzerland
Switzerland is not a cheap place to live. Living expenses for students are estimated between CHF18,000-28,000 per year (~US$18,500-28,800). However, this is counterbalanced by the country’s relatively low tuition fees. In most cases, international students pay no more than local students (some universities operate a slight mark-up). The exact sum varies, but at most leading Swiss universities, international fees are with the range of CHF1,266-2,200 per year (~US$1,300-2,265). Some scholarships are available, from the Swiss Government and from individual Swiss universities.
國(guó)際學(xué)生沒(méi)有集中的申請(qǐng)方式，所以如果你要申請(qǐng)到瑞士留學(xué)，你需要與每一所大學(xué)進(jìn)行直接接觸。你將能夠在線申請(qǐng)，如果你有任何問(wèn)題，大學(xué)的國(guó)際和招生辦公室應(yīng)該可以幫助你。首先你要確保你檢查了你申請(qǐng)的課程的語(yǔ)言要求，這畢竟是一個(gè)有四種官方語(yǔ)言的國(guó)家!德語(yǔ)、法語(yǔ)和英語(yǔ)(特別是在研究生階段)占主導(dǎo)地位。
1.如果你來(lái)自歐盟/ EFTA以外:
你需要從當(dāng)?shù)氐娜鹗看笫桂^申請(qǐng)多次簽證(簽證)。你必須至少留出三個(gè)月的時(shí)間來(lái)辦理簽證，所以要確保你申請(qǐng)的時(shí)間足夠多。大使館會(huì)告訴你你需要提供什么來(lái)獲得你的簽證，但它很可能與上面的名單類似，以獲得居住證。在瑞士完成學(xué)位后，你將被允許在六個(gè)月內(nèi)找到一份工作，如果你成功了，你將獲得工作簽證。在你到達(dá)的14天內(nèi)，你必須申請(qǐng)居住證。請(qǐng)參閱上面的內(nèi)容，了解您需要提供的內(nèi)容。
2.費(fèi)用和資金費(fèi)用，并為瑞士提供資金
瑞士并不是一個(gè)便宜的居住地。估計(jì)學(xué)生的生活費(fèi)每年可達(dá)18000 - 28000美元(約18500 - 28,800美元)。然而，這與該國(guó)相對(duì)較低的學(xué)費(fèi)平衡。在大多數(shù)情況下，國(guó)際學(xué)生的工資并不比當(dāng)?shù)貙W(xué)生高(一些大學(xué)的學(xué)費(fèi)略高)。確切的金額是不同的，但在瑞士的大多數(shù)大學(xué)，國(guó)際費(fèi)用是每年的1266 - 2,200(約1300 - 2265美元)。你可以申請(qǐng)一些來(lái)自瑞士政府和瑞士個(gè)人大學(xué)的獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金。
