FAQ 1

I want to have my credentials evaluated


1. Reason for the evaluation

a.) You want to continue your studies

b.) You want to find a job

  • Your academic degree gives access to a regulated profession:
    Please contact the authority responsible for questions on recognition.
  • Your academic degree gives access to a non-regulated profession:
    The Swiss ENIC issues (non-binding) recommendations of recognition.

2. Your diploma falls within the responsibility of the Swiss ENIC

3. Recognition of foreign upper secondary school certificates

  • At federal level the recognition of foreign upper secondary school-leaving certificates is not possible (not even for professional purposes).
  • Holders of such a certificate who wish to study at a Swiss university must contact the university of their choice directly.
  • The Swiss ENIC can provide information on the general admission requirements of the Swiss universities for holders of a foreign upper secondary school-leaving certificate. However, the Swiss ENIC cannot assess foreign upper secondary school-leaving certificates.

4. Please note

  • Our recommendations of recognition are not legally binding.
  • We only evaluate final degrees.
  • We cannot evaluate postgraduate courses, continuing education or language courses.
  • We cannot evaluate foreign upper secondary degrees.
