General information

Deadline for submitting an application for admission

The deadlines for submitting an application for admission are the 30th April for the autumn semester and the 30th November for the spring semester.
 

Candidates applying for the Autumn Semester who will need to obtain a visa to enter and remain in Switzerland are strongly recommended to submit their complete application file to the University by 28th February 2013 at the latest. Please note that it takes us several weeks to process each student application and to provide confirmation of a study place. Any application for a visa must include a copy of our letter certifying that the candidate has been granted admission to the University and should be submitted to the competent Swiss representation at least two months before courses begin (see: www.fr.ch/spomi).
If applications are received after this deadline we cannot guarantee that we will be able to process the application in time for a visa application to go through before the start of the semester in question. In such cases we regret that it is impossible for us to reimburse fees and other charges or to transfer the registration for any given semester to a later semester.

Out with these deadlines, a late application can sometimes be submitted.
