Every year, the Swiss Federal Government offers a number of scholarships to foreign postgraduate students (Master’s degree holders) only who wish to pursue post-graduate studies in their field of interest at a Swiss university. The scholarships are granted mainly for subjects which can not be studied in the student's country of origin, but are considered important for the
development of the country. Furthermore, they are intended to support graduates whose financial situation does not permit to study abroad.
The candidates must be less than 35 years old (01.01.1975 and younger) and have a good
knowledge of either French, German or Italian (official Swiss languages of university instruction)
in order to be able to follow the courses without difficulties.
