Swiss universities are some of the best in the world.
The latest global ranking by the British based higher education consultancy QS ranks the country third after the US and the UK – but many Swiss establishments top the table.
The Federal Polytechnic ETH Zurich topped the list in many scientific disciplines as did EPFL in Lausanne.
The hotel schools are listed as some of the best in the world. The Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne is rated the best globally - but a further eight hotel schools in Switzerland are in the top ten.
The rankings are based on academic reputation, the quality of research and feedback from employers on graduates.
