What opportunities does the Passerelle open up for me?

University studies in Switzerland

Passing the Passerelle supplementary examination together with your vocational baccalaureate or specialized baccalaureate certificate gives you free* access to all Bachelor's degree courses at Swiss universities (Uni, ETH) and teacher training colleges.

University studies abroad

The Passerelle supplementary examination to the vocational baccalaureate or specialized baccalaureate certificate is not equivalent to the baccalaureate and only gives access abroad to universities that have recognized this combination of certificates.

If you are planning to study abroad, clarify the admission requirements of the relevant educational institution. If they do not recognize the combination of certificates, check your options forCatching up on the gymnasiale Matura for adults.

* Please note: Some Bachelor's degree courses are subject to a numerus clausus, i.e. the universities only admit a limited number of students per semester. Entrance examinations and aptitude tests are used as selection procedures.
