Support for students with disabilities in Switzerland

It is not always easy to leave one’s country, its education system and the familiar setting to study abroad for a semestre, a year or even the whole duration of your studies. It is an adventurous thing to do ! Therefore it is important to collect information and to take into account all possibilities early, ideally one year before beginning your studies.

At higher education level the swiss education system proposes a great number of interesting curicula for which the conditions can vary greatly. Differences also exist for people with disabilities depending on the institution.
