is it really expensive?

The cost of many programs may seem expensive, however the duration of the studies is often reduced to a minimum. Bachelors programs, which take normally 4 years or 4 times 8 months in college, are often reduced to two years, or 4 times 6 months in college. In practice this simply means that associate costs such as living and its related expenses, are reduced by half. Since classes are small and personal attention is important, the rate of success is considerably higher than in many other colleges or universities. Postgraduate programs make it possible to choose specialisation once your bachelor's degree has been obtained saving time and expenditure. If a student wants to specialise in hotel management after a degree in finance, marketing or related subjects, a 23-week course followed by a 6-month industrial training are sufficient for this change of direction.

Tuition rates and living expenses are competitive with those invoiced in other countries such as the USA and Great Britain.

If carefully analysed and taking all the facts and figures into account, it might be more advantageous to consider studying in Switzerland.
