ZURICH
Zurich is Switzerland’s largest city, and also its financial hub. The predominantly German speaking city is home to two universities in the QS World University Rankings: continental Europe’s highest ranking institution, ETH Zurich (The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) and the University of Zurich, ranked 13 and 90= respectively. Situated on the banks of Lake Zurich, there is plenty of natural beauty close at hand, and the well preserved old town means that there’s some manmade charm too. It’s not cheap, but like any city, you can certainly find ways around this…
LAUSANNE
Based in the French speaking region of Switzerland, Lausanne is a
culturally rich city, which boasts a museum dedicated to the Olympic
Games – the largest of its kind anywhere in the world. The medieval
centre, as well as its proximity to magnificent Lake Geneva and numerous
ski resorts make it a big draw for tourists, and the large student
population ensures that it enjoys a vibrant nightlife. Lausanne’s two
main universities, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (29 in the QS World University Rankings) and the University of Lausanne (115) are two of Switzerland’s most prestigious.
GENEVA
Lying between the lake with which it shares its name and the French
border, Geneva is the centre of the Francophone Switzerland. It is known
on the international stage as one of the world’s main centers of
diplomacy, home to the second largest base of the United Nations and an
impressive number of NGOs. One consequence of this is that Geneva is one
of the pricier study abroad destinations out there – but in return
you’ll get to enjoy a comfortable, safe and cosmopolitan existence,
while studying at one of the world’s top 100 universities, the
University of Geneva (74).
BERN
Switzerland’s capital is the home of one of the world’s top 150 universities: The University of Bern (149). Known as the ‘Slow City’ due to its relaxed pace of life, its center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This does mean, however, that it is not the best city for party animals. But, if you’re looking for a more chilled out experience, then Bern can deliver. You can go swimming in the river, visit one of the city’s renowned museums, or even hang out with some of the captive bears – the city’s symbol – who live just outside the city (in good conditions!).
BASEL
Situated towards the north of the country near the French and German borders, Basel is perhaps the ideal city to experience the Swiss melting pot in action – or to make a jaunt over the border to visit Switzerland’s bigger European siblings. It is the centre of the Swiss chemical industry, and is also known for being a cultural hub. It is home to the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, an institute dedicated to the study of music from the medieval period through to the baroque. The University of Basel, which comes in at 121 in the QS World University Rankings, is the country’s oldest university.
