basic needs, including fees and study material.

Monthly expenses: Housing CHF 600 Living Expenses CHF 1,000 Health Insurance CHF 200

As a federal republic with a system of direct

democracy, Switzerland enjoys a high degree of

political stability. Its standing as a neutral country

allows it to play an important humanitarian role in

world affairs and to act as a mediator between

conicting parties. Switzerland is home to various

international organizations, such as the International

Committee of the Red Cross, the United Nations

and the World Trade Organization.

Switzerlands economy is based on a highly qualied

and skilled labor force. Swiss companies are extremely

competitive in the global markets. Whilst the best-

known export items include watches, chocolate and

cheese; mechanical and electrical engineering, as well

as the life sciences account for over half of Swiss export

revenues. Other signicant business areas include

consulting, banking, insurance and tourism.

Switzerland benets from political stability and a

ourishing economy which allow for a high standard

of living at affordable prices. Switzerlands international

reputation as a research center is beyond dispute.

LIVING IN ST.GALL

St.Gallen offers its approximately 75,000 inhabitants

a historically unique old town with a great number of

shops, street cafs, bars and clubs. The Abbey District

with its baroque cathedral and the Abbey Library is a

UNESCO World Heritage site and thus of international

signicance.

Further cultural highlights are provided by perfor-

mances in the city theater, the concert hall and

the St.Gallen festivals, as well as by exhibitions in

numerous museums and private galleries. An event

that is particularly popular with many students is the

St.Gallen Open Air music festival, during which the

Sitter Valley is transformed into Switzerlands largest

tent city for three days.

The citys optimal situation between the Alps and

Lake Constance provides opportunities for various

leisure and sports activities, such as skiing, rock

climbing or sailing. St.Gallens Three Ponds are

only a few minutes walking distance from the city

center. These three small lakes situated on a hill on

the outskirts of the city serve as public swimming

pools in the summer and as ice rinks in cold winters.

The Peter and Paul Wildlife Park is situated close to

the University and is popular with students as an

idyllic setting for running or walking.

Settling in St.Gallen The Visa ProcessMost individuals who come to Switzerland to stud

must obtain a visa prior to entering the country.

Students from the EU/EFTA area, Japan, or Singap

do not need a visa and must only apply for a resid

permit. On average, visa applications take about e

weeks to process. Planning ahead is therefore essen

Students can apply for the visa as soon as they hav
