You can't enter a Swiss university right after the 11th grade. Therefore, before entering, foreign students need to study for 2 years at a university in their native country.
UniFR campus
The campus of UniFR is located in Fribourg. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. University students have access to the library. It contains a collection of scientific papers, textbooks and fiction. UniFR regularly accepts students for international exchange programs, providing both local and international students with the opportunity to come into contact with different cultures and gain unique experience.
With a job seeker visa, you can stay in the country for six months after graduation. You need to apply for such a visa in advance. You can find other options for immigration in our article.
