The number of students
at Swiss Universities
is constantly increasing.

There are twelve
official higher
education establishments
in Switzerland
(ten cantonal Universities
and two Federal
institutes of technology),
as well as a number

of higher education.
The academic year
is divided into
two semesters:
winter from October
to March, and summer
from April to July.
The total length
of study up to
the first academic
exam is usually
four to five years,
depending on the
course, with six
years for medical
studies.
