landlocked country
that shares its
boundary with Austria
and Liechtenstein in
the east, France in
the west, Italy in the

Why Study In Switzerland
|
 |
|
Since Switzerland has
no raw materials, it
must import, process
and resell them as
products. The service
industries are
arguably the most
important part of the
economy. These include
banking, insurance and
tourism. It is
considered No.1 in
Hoteleering, Finance
and Dairy Products.
Switzerland has a high quality system of education that
is relatively accessible to foreign students. The
student population of some universities, for example,
consists of over 40% foreign students, and this trend is
on the upswing. |

As a European business
hub, several
university courses
have links with
locally based
businesses. Special
strengths are in
banking, machine tool
and precision
engineering. Other
strengths include
chemical and
pharmaceutical
engineering, and great
hotel and tourist
educational
departments. The
country has been very
successful in
attracting the
investment of foreign
multi-nationals and
businesses, also one
of the reasons for its
huge banking sector.
The Swiss are
multi-lingual, often
speaking four or more
languages, thus trade
expansion and travel
across Europe become
hassle-free. |
