Doctors. Lawyers. Physicists. Humanities scholars. Psychologists. Every day, people with a wealth of knowledge and skills come to Switzerland. People who have had to leave their home countries, applied for asylum in Switzerland, and now want to contribute to society here. But despite their qualifications, many refugees face numerous obstacles on their path to Swiss universities and the skilled labor market. High language requirements, unrecognized prior education and diplomas, and the question of financing make it difficult to (re)take up studies. The Swiss Student Union is working to promote institutional openness and greater equality of opportunity in access to higher education for refugees through two projects: Perspectives \u2013 Studies and INVOST \u2013 Preparatory Integration Studies at Universities of Applied Sciences. <\/p>\n\n\n
