SWITZERLAND |
|
Switzerland is a landlocked country that shares its
boundary with Austria and Liechtenstein in the east,
France in the west, Italy in the south and Germany in
the north. Switzerland with its snowcapped mountains,
glaciers and lakes is a prized tourist destination. 60%
of its area is covered by the Alps mountain range.

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. |
