Bachelor degree at HSLU
You cannot enter a Swiss university immediately after the 11th grade. Before admission, foreign students must study for 2 years at a university in their native country. For admission to HSLU, applicants must pass entrance exams.
The campus of HSLU is urban. This means that students study closely to the sights and the entire recreational infrastructure of the city. This type of campus gives students more options for internships and part-time jobs. There is a library on the grounds of the university. There are collected scientific works of graduates and teachers of the university, as well as fiction. Thanks to international exchange programs at HSLU, students can communicate with representatives of different countries and nationalities and thus expand their own horizons. And, the university contributes to this by regularly holding joint events for local and foreign students.
