Particular conditions

The available enrolment capacity in medicine has regularly been exceeded in recent years. Admission of foreign students to medical programmes is based on the Cantonal regulations on admission of foreign candidates to medicine studies.

A preliminary registration at swissuniversities is not requested for an application to a Master programme. However, a foreign Bachelor in Medecine may not be deemed equivalent to a swiss Bachelor in Medecine and therefore not give access to a Master programme. Admission to the Bachelor programme can only be taken into consideration if the preliminary registration has been submitted to swissuniversities before 15 February 2021.

more information

Candidates for the Master of Arts degree whose secondary school diploma does not include either Latin or Ancient Greek must, depending on the discipline chosen, follow a foundation course in Latin or Ancient Greek.

Candidates for the Master degree in possession of a secondary school diploma that includes Latin are required to follow only a part of these additional courses.
