Switzerland

The mesmerizing natural beauty of the majestic Alps, the placid lakes, quaint villages, cosmopolitan cities and towering castles are just a few things that Switzerland has to offer. A landlocked mountainous country in the Central Europe, Switzerland with its 26 cantons is a dream place to visit for everyone on this planet. Add to it some shopping, wine tasting, delectable chocolates and cheeses and it gets even better.Extending across the north and south side of the Alps Switzerland has idyllic landscapes with a variety of snow-capped mountains and ice-cold mountain lakes, melting glaciers and mountain pastures well suited as downhill ski slopes in winter. A country that espouses neutrality, is a prosperous and modern market economy with low unemployment, a highly skilled labor force, and a per capita GDP among the highest in the world.  Its economic and political stability, transparent legal system, exceptional infrastructure, efficient capital markets, and low corporate tax rates also make Switzerland one of the world’s most competitive economies. The Swiss brand is internationally recognized. Think Swiss chocolate, cheese, watches, and the Swiss army knife. However, what’s lesser known is the prestigious place that the Swiss university system holds in the world. With several top-ranked universities, the Swiss higher education system offers students the opportunity to take their education and future careers further! Plus, as a promoter of global participation, Switzerland is also an ideal choice for international students to study abroad.
