The IMD MBA Diversity scholarship is hosted by IMD in a country which is said to be the most innovative country in the word eight years running by the Global Innovation Index. Much of this country’s ongoing success can be attributed to three things: excellent universities, large investments in research and development, and world-class infrastructure.
Studying in Switzerland is an amazing opportunity as there are many benefits that comes with it.
Benefits of Studying In Switzerland
There are many reasons why study abroad in Switzerland could be the right choice for you! Read on to learn more.
1. A world-class education system
Switzerland has a renowned education system—so choosing to study abroad in Switzerland just makes sense! This country is known for having high standards and teaching methods that are based on active learning. Not only is it a qualitative education system, but it’s also an affordable one. Many distinguished Swiss public universities have tuition fees that don’t exceed 1000 CHF, or 1100 USD.
2. There are tons of international students
Every country hosts a number of international students. Switzerland does too! A large portion of the student population in Switzerland is foreign. The acclaimed education system, moderate prices, and multiple scholarship options attract international students to move and study in Switzerland to obtain their degrees.
3. High salaries and low unemployment rates
As one of the countries with the highest standards of living and a stable economy, it’s reasonable that workers in this country will receive some of the highest salaries in Europe. Swiss workers earn 6,502 CHF (7,140 USD) per month on average. Among the OECD countries, Switzerland ranks second for average annual wages with 62,300 CHF (68,400 USD).
4. It’s safe
According to the Global Peace Index, Switzerland is the 10th safest country in the world. The low crime rates and strict gun laws are just some of the factors that have helped Switzerland maintain the reputation of a safe country. Your parents can’t argue with that, right?
5. High quality of life
While Switzerland is one of the most expensive countries to live in, its residents certainly get value for money. In a report conducted by Social Progress Imperative, Switzerland scored 88.87 from 100 in total in three main indexes—basic human needs (medical care, shelter, and sanitation), foundation of wellbeing (education, life expectancy, and access to technology), and opportunity (freedom of choice, tolerance, and personal rights). Good luck NOT enjoying your time studying abroad in Switzerland.
