Tuition costs are relatively low in Switzerland compared to other countries. However, the cost of living is very high. This is especially true for a city like Zurich. The costs for your studies depend largely on your degree program and living situation.
Financial planning and choosing a degree program go hand in hand. You should think about how to fund your studies well before choosing a program. Your first year at university is a challenging time that sets the stage for the rest of your studies. Creating a realistic budget will give you the freedom to concentrate on academics.
You should have a minimum of CHF 2,000 per month at your disposal. Students who still live at home with their parents should set aside CHF 1,300–1,500 per month.
