With only around eight million inhabitants, Switzerland has one of the most powerful economies and educational systems globally. In particular, Swiss universities excel in the fields of physics, physiology, and chemistry. With 11 of its 12 universities featured in the World University Rankings (all in the top 500), there are a number of great institutions that students can choose from that all have high numbers of international students among the student body. Here are the top picks for Scholarships for Africans, based on the Times Higher Education ranking: ## THE’s Top Swiss Universities Switzerland offers over 3,000 degree programs with 700 in English. Their universities offer good quality education despite its relatively costly living expenses. EU and EEA students do not require a visa to study in Switzerland, and students from elsewhere will need to apply for a visa, leaving a few months for the process to complete. Studying in Switzerland is a good option if you’re looking to expand your language skills in one of its four main tongues, namely: French, German, Italian, and Romansh.
