2 Foreword H.E. Ambassador Thomas Kupfer Dear Students, Dear Parents Thomas Kupfer Ambassador of Switzerland to Singapore It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the seventh edition of the Swiss Education Fair. Switzerland is one of the world s leading investors in education and has a very qualitative educational system. The various educational strengths that Switzerland has to offer include globally top ranked public Universities, Universities of Applied Sciences and Hospitality Schools. Their high quality and dedicated educational programs have shaped 27 Nobel Laureates in the past. Discover various Swiss institutions of higher learning presenting their outstanding programs, Bachelor and Master Programs. Meet and speak directly with exchange students and delegates and get answers to important questions such as the requirements, application process, future career opportunities or living in Switzerland. The institutions present at the Swiss Education Fair 2016 including Universities, Universities of Applied Sciences, Hospitality- as well as Boarding Schools represent Switzerland s fi nest pre- and tertiary educational institutions. All of them command considerable respect among their global peers. Switzerland s educational institutions are the backbone of our society and economy, continually producing highly skilled individuals whose expertise is sought after around the world. Being one of the largest investors in education and research worldwide, Switzerland offers opportunities for personal and professional growth through innovation, diversity and drive for perfection. It lays emphasis on the exchange of knowledge via its multiple partnerships and collaborations with world reputable research institutes. The variety of courses and programs equip students to manage the various challenges of today s global environment. In multiple professional areas, from Banking, Pharma, Architecture, Engineering, IT to Hospitality, Alumni from Swiss institutions face challenges with a solid academic training, a balance of technical and service oriented skills, along with a passion for details. As these Swiss alumni move on to explore the professional environment, they all become world citizens engaging with Swiss standards and innovation spirit. Singapore and Switzerland have always placed a strong emphasis on the excellence of its education, and the existing collaborations between both countries are evidences of this common objective. Furthermore, the recent interest of the Singapore government in the Swiss dual education system shows that both countries have still very much to share in terms of education. Studying in a foreign country is not only an educational experience but also a personal journey. While educational institutions assist in this endeavor, surroundings and environment also play a role. As a country, Switzerland offers a wide array of interesting opportunities to learn outside of a formal school setting. Home to four distinct cultural regions, our small country, nestled in the heart of Western Europe, is easily explored by public transport. The unrivalled natural beauty of our lakes, rivers and mountains presents a perfect setting to revitalize one s mind in peaceful surroundings. Furthermore, the cultural diversity makes it an enjoyable place to live and discover new horizons. For centuries Switzerland has been attracting those eager to learn, excited to explore and willing to teach. I therefore encourage you to inform yourself, enjoy discovering this multifaceted country and to make the most of the opportunities presented at the Swiss Education Fair
