Instructions for studying abroad

Recognition of academic qualifications

12 The diplomas of Swiss public universities and some universities of applied science and technology have been certified by the Ministry of Education of China. However, except for Lausanne Hotel Management College, most of the hotel management majors that my friends yearn for are set up in private colleges, and other hotel management majors have not been recognized. Such a diploma is only an industry diploma, not a national certification diploma. Switzerland and China have not reached a * * * understanding on hotel management certification, so it is impossible to form a mutual recognition clause for academic qualifications. However, such a diploma will not affect students' return to work, because it has a high reputation in the industry.

Hot research field

In addition to hotel management, Switzerland's financial industry is very developed. As we are familiar with Swiss banks, we need a large number of professionals from all over the world who can speak various languages to practice. After the internship expires, we arrange students to work in cooperative institutions of Swiss banks in various countries, and tend to attract talents first, then conduct systematic training, and then go to areas to be developed to become middle and senior management talents. So far, public universities in Switzerland will only recruit graduate students in financial management and banking management. Switzerland also has facial makeup and cosmetics majors, which only offer relevant courses in public universities and do not accept applications from international students. In two years, maybe this market will be opened.

Language and capital requirements

Swiss public schools mainly teach in German and French, and rarely use English. Private hotel management majors will also learn German and French courses while teaching English. In terms of funds, so far, public schools in Switzerland are free of tuition fees, and students only need to pay the registration fee of 1 0,000 Swiss francs plus the living expenses of 1 0,000-/0.2 million RMB for one year. The tuition fees of private schools are generally between 6.5438+0.5 million and 250 thousand, including food and accommodation, hotel buffet and standard room treatment.

About visas

Swiss visa is a re-entry visa, which will not involve the restrictions of students' location and application time. If students are qualified, they can be successfully admitted to the schools and majors they apply for, and visa refusal rarely happens. Swiss students from China are welcome. In the past, studying in Switzerland required German and French scores, but since the opening of hotel management, English scores can be provided. The visa return period is short, only 2-3 months. In terms of English requirements, graduate students scored 6 points in IELTS and undergraduate students scored 5 points. Only when you meet the language requirements and have a clear motivation to study can you get a visa.

Scholarship policy

Every year, about 200 China students go to Switzerland, among which 17 students can receive official scholarships provided by the Swiss and Chinese governments and selected by the Chinese and Swiss ministries of education. After entering public schools, the rest of the students need to be rewarded according to the results of the first semester, and they can get grants through work-study programs. Private hotel management provides paid internships, usually without scholarships, but you can get some bursaries for completing a certain hour of education on campus.

Paid internship

The practice of studying hotel management in Switzerland can be divided into three directions. Students from Xiu Xiu can work in five famous hotels, such as Hilton, Four Seasons or Shangri-La, by submitting resumes or recommendation from tutors. After completing the internship for about 6 months, you will get a certificate or certificate as a favorable condition for finding a job in the future. Students with strong language skills can practice in Swiss hotel chains, undertake the reception of most tourists in Switzerland, receive tourists from different countries and get exercise. Wages and tips can reach 48 thousand to 55 thousand yuan. Some students with poor language skills can choose pubs or hotels run by local Chinese, and their salary can reach 57,000-60,000 yuan. Students are advised to practice in traditional hotels in Switzerland if their own abilities permit.
