No prior knowledge is usually required for a university degree course at Bachelor's level. However, it is an advantage if you do not have much trouble with subjects such as mathematics or physics.

If you are unsure whether you can cope with the subjects or examinations and follow the lessons, then arrange a consultation with the provider of your choice or attend the relevant information events.

The cost of a communication systems course can vary from provider to provider. As a rule, you can expect to pay between CHF 500 and CHF 900 for a university course.

In principle, training in communication systems is open to anyone who is interested in the subject. The admission requirements may vary from provider to provider.

For a communication systems degree course at a university of applied sciences, people are usually

• with a high school diploma and at least 1 year of professional experience in the desired professional field or
• with basic vocational training (EFZ/apprenticeship), (technical) vocational baccalaureate and correspondingly qualified professional experience or
• with an HF degree in the desired professional field.

Depending on the situation, it is also possible to be accepted "sur dossier", i.e. through an individual assessment of your career.

Some universities of applied sciences offer specialization options in communication systems training. For example, in data engineering, embedded systems, networks and systems, software development or IT security.

It is best to contact the provider of your choice directly and ask what options they offer.
