You will need a SWITCH edu-ID to apply online. If you do not yet have a SWITCH edu-ID, create one using your personal and permanently valid e-mail address (not a school or university address).

You can then use the SWITCH edu-ID login data to log in to your online application user account.

You can apply online for your desired programme as soon as the relevant application period starts. The online form is four pages long. You can log off at any time and continue filling in the form at a later time. Note that the entered data is only saved once you continue to the next page.

As long as the application period for the desired course programme is still open, you can submit your application by successfully paying the application fee of CHF 250 online. Accepted means of payment are PostFinance Card and credit cards (VISA and MasterCard). You will not be able to make any changes to the online form once you have submitted it.

You will receive a confirmation email upon successful payment. The application status of your online application will then update to "received - being processed" and the payment status in your status overview to "paid". If it does not automatically update, then forward the confirmation mail (order confirmation) to registration.support@unisg.ch.

The application fee must be paid for each application and is non-refundable - neither in the case of acceptance nor in the case of rejection of the application for a study place.
