Student Life in Switzerland

Swiss hospitality students enjoy world-class training in safe, efficient cities with strong industry connections. Hotel management and culinary students experience professional culture, multilingual communities and supportive campus life.

Visa Process

Hospitality students typically apply for a Swiss study visa through the embassy or consulate in their home country. Way Amanah assists with documentation, program-specific guidance and follow-up to help make the process smooth.

  • Proof of admission from a recognised Swiss institution
  • Proof of sufficient financial resources
  • Valid passport and passport photos

Accommodation

Finding suitable housing is one of the first priorities for incoming students. Switzerland offers student residences, shared flats and private apartments. Way Amanah can help students find comfortable housing close to campus or transport links.

Health Insurance

Health insurance is mandatory for all students in Switzerland. International students can choose between local Swiss insurance plans or approved international policies. We guide students through the best options so they stay covered from day one.

Transportation

Switzerland's public transport system is efficient and reliable, with trains, trams and buses connecting cities and campuses. Students often benefit from travel passes, discounted tickets and easy access to airports.

Cost of Living

The cost of living in Switzerland is higher than many countries, but students can manage expenses with careful planning. Budget for accommodation, food, transport, insurance and study materials while also allowing for leisure and travel.

Way Amanah helps students understand realistic budgets and make practical choices for a successful student experience.
