一、瑞士四大頂尖大學簡介
Nine universities in Switzerland are featured in the QS World University Rankings 2018, all of which rank in the top 550. ETH Zurich and EPFL, both within the global top 15, are joined by five more Swiss universities ranked among the world’s top 200. This is even more impressive when you consider that the population of the entire country is just 8.4 million (for comparison, that’s about the same as that of the US state of Virginia).As well as having a strong presence in the international ranking tables, universities in Switzerland are also very international in terms of their student and academic communities. Four of the eight ranked Swiss universities make the world’s top 100 for their percentage of international students, and the country also performs well when comparing the percentage of international academic staff members to universities in other countries.
The following four universities in Switzerland are all ranked in the world’s top 100:
瑞士有9所大學在2018年QS世界大學排名中名列前茅，所有排名都在前550名。蘇黎世和EPFL都進入了全球前15名，躋身世界前200名的瑞士大學也有5所。當你考慮到整個國家的人口只有840萬(相比之下，這相當于美國弗吉尼亞州的人口)，這就更加令人印象深刻了。瑞士的大學不僅在國際排名中占有一席之地，而且在學生和學術團體方面也非常國際化。在瑞士的8所大學中，有4所的國際學生比例在世界排名前100，而在國際學術工作人員的比例與其他國家的大學相比，這個國家的表現(xiàn)也很好。
瑞士的四所大學排名世界前100名:
1.瑞士聯(lián)邦理工學院ETH Zurich
Switzerland’s highest-ranked university, ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) is currently placed 10th in the world and is the only non-UK European university to rank within the global top 10. The university was founded in 1855, and is well established as a leader in scientific and technical fields, with connections to an impressive 21 Nobel laureates. Today, more than 19,000 students study at ETH Zurich, studying at two campuses – one in the center of Zurich, and one on the outskirts. In the QS World University Rankings by Subject, ETH Zurich is currently ranked fifth in the world for the engineering and technology broad subject area, and sixth for natural sciences. Teaching at undergraduate level is mainly in German, while most master’s courses are English-led.
瑞士排名最高的大學，蘇黎世(瑞士聯(lián)邦理工學院)目前在世界排名第十，是唯一一個在全球排名前十的歐洲大學。這所大學成立于1855年，在科學和技術領域是一個很好的領導者與21位令人印象深刻的諾貝爾獎得主有聯(lián)系。今天，有19000多名學生在蘇黎世大學學習，在兩個校區(qū)學習——一個在蘇黎世中心，一個在郊區(qū)。在QS世界大學(QS World University)的學科排名中，蘇黎世大學目前在全球工程和技術學科領域排名第五，在自然科學領域排名第六。本科階段的教學主要是德語，而大部分碩士課程都是英語教學。
2.洛桑聯(lián)邦理工學院(Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne)
The second of the two Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology, the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) was established slightly earlier than ETH Zurich, in 1853, and follows close behind in the international rankings tables. It’s placed 12th in the world in the QS World University Rankings 2018, and in the QS World University Rankings by Subject comes 12th for engineering and technology and 11th for natural sciences. Since Lausanne is in a French-speaking part of Switzerland, most courses offered are in French, though there are also some programs in English. About half the size of ETH Zurich, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne currently teaches about 10,500 students.
瑞士聯(lián)邦理工學院的排名第二名，(EPFL)在1853年比蘇黎世(ETH Zurich)稍早成立，緊隨其后的是國際排名表。在2018年QS世界大學排名中排名第12位，在QS世界大學的排名中，工程和科技排名第12位，自然科學排名第11位。由于洛桑在瑞士法語區(qū)，大部分課程都是法語，不過也有一些英語課程。洛桑聯(lián)邦理工學院的規(guī)模約為蘇黎世大學的一半，目前大約有10500名學生。
3.蘇黎世大學University of Zurich
With around 25,500 students, the University of Zurich is the largest university in Switzerland, and lays claim to the country’s largest selection of study programs.

With public outreach at the heart of its mission, the University of Zurich runs an impressive selection of museums, public libraries, collections, events and educational programs, including a Children’s University and Senior Citizens’ University.

Switzerland’s largest city, Zurich is well-known as one of the world’s major financial centers, home to the fourth largest stock exchange and the headquarters of many international companies. Located at the tip of Lake Zurich, this urban hub offers plenty of opportunities to explore the beautiful Swiss landscape, with its mixture of historic and modern buildings set against a backdrop of hills and mountains.

三、簽證及費用等相關問題解讀
There is no centralized application procedure for international students, so to apply to study in Switzerland you’ll need to make direct contact with each university. You will be able to apply online, and universities’ international and admissions offices should be available to help you if you have any problems. Make sure you check the language requirements of the courses you’re applying to; this is a country with four official languages after all! German, French and English (particularly at graduate level) predominate.
If you’re from outside of the EU/EFTA:
You will need to apply for a multiple entry long stay visa (Visa D) from your local Swiss embassy. You must allow at least three months for your visa to process, so make sure you apply in plenty of time.The embassy will tell you specifically what you need to provide in order to obtain your visa, but it is likely to be similar to the above list for obtaining a residence permit. You will be allowed six months to find a job in Switzerland after completing your degree, and will be able to get a work visa if you succeed.Within 14 days of your arrival you must apply for a residence permit. See above for what you’ll need to provide.
Fees and funding Fees and funding Switzerland
Switzerland is not a cheap place to live. Living expenses for students are estimated between CHF18,000-28,000 per year (~US$18,500-28,800). However, this is counterbalanced by the country’s relatively low tuition fees. In most cases, international students pay no more than local students (some universities operate a slight mark-up). The exact sum varies, but at most leading Swiss universities, international fees are with the range of CHF1,266-2,200 per year (~US$1,300-2,265). Some scholarships are available, from the Swiss Government and from individual Swiss universities.
國際學生沒有集中的申請方式，所以如果你要申請到瑞士留學，你需要與每一所大學進行直接接觸。你將能夠在線申請，如果你有任何問題，大學的國際和招生辦公室應該可以幫助你。首先你要確保你檢查了你申請的課程的語言要求，這畢竟是一個有四種官方語言的國家!德語、法語和英語(特別是在研究生階段)占主導地位。
1.如果你來自歐盟/ EFTA以外:
你需要從當?shù)氐娜鹗看笫桂^申請多次簽證(簽證)。你必須至少留出三個月的時間來辦理簽證，所以要確保你申請的時間足夠多。大使館會告訴你你需要提供什么來獲得你的簽證，但它很可能與上面的名單類似，以獲得居住證。在瑞士完成學位后，你將被允許在六個月內(nèi)找到一份工作，如果你成功了，你將獲得工作簽證。在你到達的14天內(nèi)，你必須申請居住證。請參閱上面的內(nèi)容，了解您需要提供的內(nèi)容。
2.費用和資金費用，并為瑞士提供資金
瑞士并不是一個便宜的居住地。估計學生的生活費每年可達18000 - 28000美元(約18500 - 28,800美元)。然而，這與該國相對較低的學費平衡。在大多數(shù)情況下，國際學生的工資并不比當?shù)貙W生高(一些大學的學費略高)。確切的金額是不同的，但在瑞士的大多數(shù)大學，國際費用是每年的1266 - 2,200(約1300 - 2265美元)。你可以申請一些來自瑞士政府和瑞士個人大學的獎學金。
