Requirements and skills of applying for 2022 Swiss study visa

Swiss study visa is the least difficult of all visas, but you still need to know the application skills to apply for a study visa. Let's take a look at the requirements and skills for applying for a Swiss study visa in 2022.

Applied skills

First, improve the language level.

Visa requires an interview, and the whole interview requires English or German. Therefore, if you want to communicate freely with the interviewer and answer the interviewer's questions, you must have a relatively high level of spoken English.

Spoken English has always been lacking for foreign students, so everyone needs to focus on improving their spoken English before the interview, so as to better communicate with the interviewer and improve their success rate.

Second, express your determination to study abroad.

The most taboo of studying abroad is to have other ideas, whether part-time or emigrating overseas, which can't be displayed. Everyone needs to show his determination and enthusiasm for studying abroad firmly and clearly.

When introducing yourself, you need to clearly express your goal of studying abroad and elaborate your study plan, so that the whole process can dispel the interviewer's doubts about you.

Third, avoid rote learning.

The interview for studying abroad will not be particularly difficult. Most questions are fixed, and only a few questions will be asked around the materials you have prepared. So there will be many strategies on the Internet to help you pass.

However, although these answers are omnipotent, they are easy to be seen as templates, which is actually very unfavorable to themselves. You can be familiar with the questions in advance, but you still have to answer them yourself.

Fourth, pay attention to manners.

Finally, personal etiquette, face-to-face interview usually takes about five minutes. During this time, you will have a face-to-face direct conversation with the interviewer, which is very challenging. Everyone needs to keep calm and calm.

And be polite, you need to tip when you enter the door, greet the interviewer before you sit down, smile halfway, thank you when you leave and close the door.

Application requirements

First, the academic qualifications of international students

At the visa office, the visa officer will review the students' academic qualifications and academic achievements to determine whether the applicant has the ability to complete his studies abroad. Swiss 12 public universities have their own academic requirements, and students can apply for suitable universities according to their own conditions. One more thing, everyone should bring their education!

Second, the language conditions.

Switzerland is a multilingual country. Applicants need to have a certain language foundation and speak at least French, English or German. Applicants studying in Switzerland must take German and French exams held by Swiss public universities. You can take the exam when you arrive in Switzerland. There is a professor to talk to you about the exam, similar to IELTS and TOEFL. If you don't get good grades, you will have a chance to take the exam again after half a year of study. Switzerland seems to be very strict about language.

Third, the required economic conditions.

To apply for studying in Switzerland, you need to have sufficient financial ability. If the applicant can't afford to study in Switzerland, he is not allowed to study abroad. Therefore, the visa officer will check whether the students can pay all the expenses during their study abroad. The tuition fees of foreign students will be slightly higher than those of Swiss students. The cost of living toilets varies from person to person, but it must be at least 20 thousand Swiss francs per academic year.

Swiss 12 public universities do not provide accommodation. Generally speaking, like Swiss students, you can rent an apartment in groups of three or five, each with a room and a living room. But public universities in Switzerland are not allowed to work. However, during the winter and summer vacations, international students can work to reduce the burden.

Fourth, the purpose of studying abroad

The most important reason why visa officers refuse to sign an applicant's visa is that they suspect that the applicant has an immigration tendency. Therefore, when answering the visa officer's questions, you should show that you will return to China for development after your studies, and there is no tendency to emigrate.

If you want to study in Switzerland, you need to put your mind right first. Are you really ready to study in Switzerland? Therefore, if you want to apply for a good university and study in Switzerland, you must study hard.
