Introduction to Swiss study and work regulations.

I. Working hours

A part-time job has greatly improved the financial situation of international students. But before starting a part-time job, students should consider whether international students are allowed to work in Switzerland, whether the academic tasks are heavy or not, and how much salary they can earn by taking a part-time job here. Some schools prohibit students from working, because it is difficult for students to take care of their jobs at the same time after studying for a long time.

However, in order to alleviate the financial pressure of these students, Switzerland still supports them legally. However, there are some things to understand. Students from these countries in the European Union will not be restricted in their work, but students from other countries will be restricted in their working hours. You can only work 5 hours a week during your study, and you can work full-time during holidays. However, you must start studying for six months before you can take a part-time job, and you must get permission.

Second, wages.

There is no minimum working standard in Switzerland. However, such a high price here will also be reflected in wages. Because of different industries, wages will be different. If the average student works five days a week, the median salary he can get in a month is about 1900 to 2 150 francs. If he has a B-type residence permit, he can get more salary for the same working hours.

Third, the provisions of the part-time job

International students can work in Switzerland, but they must meet one condition, that is, they must be college students and have a study visa. There are some restrictions, for example, you can only do part-time jobs during the semester, up to 20 hours a week, and you can do full-time jobs during the holidays. If it is done as part of the course, it is also allowed. There are some differences between these regulations, but they are usually indicated in the visa or sent together in the entry permit for explanation.

Generally, international students can get F- 1 or M- 1 visas. These visas can be used to work on campus in the first semester, but they are not allowed to work off campus. After the first year, you can work part-time outside the school, and generally you can only do professional-related work.

But M- 1 students need practical training after completing their studies. Generally, the minimum wage here is about 50.6438+08 an hour. The minimum wage stipulated by each state is different, and some States will be lower. So when you start working, just look at the salary level in each state.

First, a one-time visa

Because it takes a certain amount of money and time to apply for a visa, if the visa is not passed, it means a waste of these costs. Unclear study plan, insufficient funds, poor language, etc. It may all be the reason for being refused a visa. Being refused a visa will not only delay your studies, but also lead to economic losses. Because once the visa is rejected, the application fee, international fax fee and express fee, pretreatment fee, visa fee and some students' study abroad loans can not be recovered, and it will cost money again to apply again, resulting in repeated consumption. Therefore, we should pay attention to the visa application review and succeed once.

If you want to successfully pass the visa review, there are two important points: first, you should carefully prepare the application materials; The second is to participate in some interview training to accumulate some experience and master communication skills.

Second, the scholarship application

There are many kinds of scholarships in foreign universities, and the funding is relatively large, and some even completely exempt students from tuition fees. For students with less favorable domestic economic conditions, if they can apply for scholarships, the bulk of the cost of studying abroad will basically be solved.

Students who want to apply for study abroad bonuses will have a lot of scholarship information of foreign universities on many websites related to study abroad, so they should pay more attention and understand. Generally, the number of applicants for scholarships is relatively small, and the competition will be extremely fierce. The earlier you apply, the better your chances of success.

Third, work-study programs.

Work-study program has always been a routine way for international students to solve their own economic problems. There are two ways to work while studying in Switzerland. One is doing odd jobs at school, also called part-time jobs. However, there will be a time limit and the salary will not be much. The general part-time salary is12–25 sfr an hour, which will be doubled on weekends or holidays. However, this method generally requires students to have relevant work experience and speak at least one language such as German, French and Italian. English is actually useless in Switzerland.

Another way of working is aimed at hotel management students, which is actually paid internship. Switzerland is not an immigrant country, so international students are generally not allowed to take part-time jobs. However, there is a special policy for students in this major, that is, students in this major have paid internship opportunities for up to half a year every year, and they can earn about 65438+100000 a month.

Fourth, apply for an international student ID card.

International student identity card, that is, ISIC card, is an internationally recognized student identity document, which gives preferential treatment in transportation, accommodation, food and so on. However,/kloc-students over 0/2 years old can apply.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) saves money on daily necessities.

If you are lucky enough to get a discount from the supermarket, you can buy more daily necessities that won't go bad so quickly, such as shampoo. Generally speaking, in Switzerland, like other European countries, Christmas is a discount season of scale, and this period is an opportunity to stock up.

1. Don't touch the child's head.

Never touch a child's head, it's a big taboo for the Swiss. China has this habit and tradition. When he saw his friend's lovely child, he wanted to hug, kiss and touch his head. Never do this in a foreign country. They think that the child's soul is in the head and the child's soul is very fragile. Touching their heads may hurt their souls, and you may bring them some diseases and disasters. So they are very disgusted with this.

Don't talk loudly in public.

Never speak loudly in public. In China, it's not always good to speak loudly, sometimes the signal is bad, or you speak loudly if you don't pay attention. But in Switzerland, no matter whether you eat or take the train, you basically don't talk, or talk quietly or chat loudly. It's more obvious when you make a phone call, and the voice is very small. Foreigners think it is impolite to speak loudly in public places.

3. Don't default on the telephone bill

Don't default on the telephone bill. Switzerland's telecommunications and police stations are connected to the Internet. If you don't pay the phone bill for three consecutive months, swisscom will directly notify the police to arrest people. Taking it to the station will be fined heavily and blacklisted. Be careful not to be blacklisted. They write black directly on the temporary residence permit. When you enter the number, you can see the previous records. In Switzerland, many places need to use temporary residence permits. If there is a black record, many things can't be done.

Don't try to please the teacher.

Don't try to please the teacher. At home, there may be a lot of people fawning on teachers, hoping that teachers can take care of themselves more, but in foreign countries, just learn honestly, and teachers will not tell you about human feelings in their studies. Although you can play as friends after class, learning this thing is very private. I won't give you high marks just because I drank with you.

5. Unwilling to show off wealth

Swiss people don't want to show off their wealth and are ashamed to show their embarrassment. They think it is impolite to show off their wealth. So money is generally avoided. However, when it comes to real estate, the Swiss are never shy. They will tell you when to buy it, what renovations they have made and how many modern equipment they have added. If you like, the host will show you around.
