Matters needing attention in studying in Switzerland

# Studying in Switzerland # Introduction As one of the economically developed countries, Switzerland has a global financial center and enjoys a high reputation in the world. The following are the shared notes of studying in Switzerland. Welcome to read the reference!

1. considerations for studying in Switzerland

1, you can't relax after admission.

Some students may feel that they have been accepted, and definitely 100% has been accepted. In fact, this idea is wrong. Even if you pass the exam, don't relax. Relaxing yourself too much may affect your study after entering school. Remember that if you don't have enough credits, the school here will eliminate you. What students have to do is to keep their learning attitude after admission, not only to get higher credits, but also to keep their professional level in a state of continuous improvement, so as not to be eliminated in the competition for studying abroad. If you fail in the end, the tuition you paid when you entered school will be in vain.

Don't take any chances, if so, even if you get into the school through application and don't keep up with everyone's progress, you will be in a mess by the end of the term.

2. Scholarships are not easy to get.

Scholarships in Switzerland are all selected by international students who are also in Switzerland. Every year, as many as 200 people go to Switzerland to study, and only a few people can get these places. Although other students can get it after entering school, only when they get very good grades in the first semester will they have a chance to get a grant. Remember, having a chance doesn't mean getting a scholarship with good grades.

Step 3 distort

However, all regular universities in Switzerland are not only strict with applicants, but also strict with exams, such as some certificates. In the school's view, these materials can show whether students can finally finish their studies. Therefore, students must seek truth from facts when preparing materials, and don't get some fake materials. In addition, in Switzerland, the school will let students take an English test again. If you take IELTS casually, what do you think of the second test in Switzerland in the future?

Studying abroad is only for immigration.

It is easy for international students to study in Switzerland now, but it is difficult to get a resident card here. Even if you get permanent residency here, you may not get a passport in Switzerland. Swiss immigrants have really set up layers of defense in this regard. If you want to be naturalized in Switzerland, you must pass three approvals in your current area. In addition, there is a basic condition for getting started. You must have lived here for 12 years before you can apply. If you are under 20 years old, living in Switzerland for one year can be counted as two years.

2. Study abroad arrangements in Switzerland

First of all, class.

1, English teaching is less, and German and French are basically used, so language training or preparatory study is needed first.

2. The results include peacetime and final period, and the classroom atmosphere is relatively free. Positive lectures will leave a good impression on the professor, help him to integrate into the Nordic education system more quickly, and help him learn professional skills more solidly.

3. Arrive at the classroom or seminar room on time, go through the back door when you are late, and don't disturb the rhythm of the lecture.

4. preview in advance, mark the questions you don't understand, have the opportunity to ask questions, and review the subject content on the same day.

Go to the library for self-study every week or every day to ensure that you can keep up with the progress and consolidate the knowledge you have learned.

6. Buy a notebook and recorder for each subject and listen to it several times after class, which can not only make up for the missing knowledge points in class, but also increase the number of times and deepen the memory.

Second, diet.

People eat for the sky, so eating is more important.

1, rich in dairy products, students who like cheese, desserts and cakes have a good time, and there are many kinds of chocolates, the key point is delicious.

People usually say: Enjoy the food you have! German, French and Italian will do. The key is to keep love before eating delicious food.

It should be noted that the dining is solemn and quiet, and the locals don't like to hear the sound of bowls colliding.

Third, renting a house.

1) The campus is relatively cheap and safe.

2) When renting a house off campus, you should find a reliable landlord.

3) Check whether the water heater and shower nozzle are damaged, firm and damp, which may lead to water leakage.

Fourth, go out.

Generally speaking, social security is very stable, but we still need to be vigilant and improve our emergency response capabilities.

1. Take your passport for patrol inspection.

It is very convenient to take a car and buy drinks with a small amount of change.

Don't go out alone at night, and don't take a private car at will.

4. Put some pills, band-AIDS, gauze, cotton, cold medicine, summer medicine, cool oil and other commonly used drugs or medical supplies in your luggage or backpack. If you are injured, deal with it calmly and don't panic.

5. Don't take the driveway or path at night, especially girls. You can usually bring some beneficial tools such as spray and sticks.

3. Carry the Swiss study abroad fund

1, cash

When you go to Switzerland for the first time, it is suggested that you take one or two months' pocket money and exchange it at home in advance for about 1 0,000 to 1 5,000 Swiss francs (at least 50 Swiss francs per week). Of course, you can also change it into a certain euro/dollar first, and then change it into Swiss francs at the Swiss airport. Some shops accept euro consumption.

Don't carry more than the quantity stipulated by the customs, in case it is found, it will be very troublesome If you bring large bills, you should get a local card and deposit it immediately at your destination. Some airports need to put small coins in their trolleys to use them. For example, it seems that the Geneva airport costs 2 Swiss francs, but domestic banks don't exchange coins, so it is ok to change some coins with you as much as possible.

2. Standard UnionPay card (debit card)

Now more and more banks in Europe (including ATMs) accept standard UnionPay cards (generally starting with 62). There are also many merchants' pos machines that accept UnionPay. Parents can save money directly in China, and the chances of losing or embezzling it are smaller than those of credit cards, and there is no need to worry about repayment. As a backup is a good choice. However, there is a charge for using functions such as balance inquiry abroad.

3. International credit cards

Generally, it is an international credit card with visa or master logo. Be sure to confirm with the bank that you can trade on foreign websites (it is very useful to buy air tickets and book hotels)! It seems that if you don't have a Swiss franc card now, choose a euro card. If it is dual currency, when you use it on a pos machine, the merchant may prompt you to use euro or RMB DCC for settlement, depending on the exchange rate and handling fee.

Be sure to take care of your credit card abroad, and many places can use it without a password (such as online transactions)! Sign your name on the back immediately after you get the card, and write down the card number and 24-hour service telephone number of the bank (overseas) elsewhere. If lost, report the loss immediately. Remember to apply for a credit card in advance, but you can't take it out then!

4. Tips for studying abroad in Switzerland

First, know the business hours.

After arriving in Switzerland, the first thing to know is the business hours of various organs, departments, supermarkets, convenience stores and other places, which are closely related to our lives.

When you first enter Switzerland, you have to apply for many documents, which requires you to deal with government departments frequently. In order to save time, you should know clearly the business hours of each department in advance. The office hours of government agencies are from Monday to Friday, and they are closed on weekends. The specific time is 8:00- 12:00, 2:00-5:00 in summer and 2:00-6:00 in winter.

The difference between Switzerland and China is that there is no 24-hour convenience store, and ordinary supermarkets and convenience stores also leave early and return late. No matter in the city or in the suburbs, they only go to work from Monday to Friday, and the business hours are from 8 am to 6 pm. A few shops will be open until 9 pm on Thursday or Friday, which can be said to be very capricious.

Therefore, shopping on weekdays must be prepared.

Second, learn to recognize the timetable.

How different the train and bus schedules in Switzerland are from those in China? It is also a big challenge for freshmen studying abroad to arrange them in English, so you should know some common expressions briefly before going.

There is usually a duty room at the station. If you get lost or don't know the timetable, you can ask the staff for help, but remember to communicate in English. When you are in the car, don't eat or drink with a cup without a lid. This is very impolite.

Third, observe social norms.

A considerable number of people in Switzerland are immigrants from Germany and have a special German-speaking area, so Switzerland is also a country that pays great attention to etiquette.

When you are in a fast food restaurant, you must remember to clean up the garbage on the table and throw it into the designated recycling area, instead of leaving after eating like China.

When you take the escalator in a public area, remember to stand on the right. Even if there are many people, don't occupy the left. This is to make room in an emergency.

Fourth, pay attention to discount information.

Although the business hours of supermarkets and convenience stores in Switzerland are relatively short, there will be a fixed discount every Friday. In order to stock up on the weekend, you can pay more attention to some discount information and choose the most suitable shopping place.
