General Information Services on Swiss Private Schools & Universities
INFORMATION ON EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS This service applies to students who have already decided on an educational program and simply wish to receive information on the program concerned from different educational institutions in order to be able to compare the program contents, entrance dates and requirements including the financial terms and conditions. SIEPS recommends educational programs of only those private educational institutions which SIEPS has visited and with which SIEPS has drawn up a collaboration agreement that guarantees transparency with regard to faculty members, class size, nationality mix, grading system, class attendance, recreational activities and boarding house facilities to mention only a few examples.

Handling your application for one or more educational institutions
HANDLING & COMPILING YOUR APPLICATION Focusing on three key areas: 1 . Pre-requisites: Ensuring that you do satisfy the entrance requirements of the educational institution which you have decided to join; or advising you as to how you can satisfy such requirements. 2 . Study plan: Established in an optimal manner. 3 . Coordination of your various educational aspirations: If you have decided on more than one option. SIEPS guarantees the quality of its recommendations by following up on your progress in the programs SIEPS has recommended to you.Client specific Educational Advice to students, parents and employers
EDUCATIONAL ADVICE This service category applies when SIEPS is required to compare programs for you; when SIEPS is to perform some research into various educational programs in terms of your specific requirements, such as: • a specific starting date? • a specific price range? • a specific nationality mix? • a specific class size? • high school equivalency if you have either no high school diploma or a high school diploma other than International Baccalaureate; Swiss Maturité; German Arbitur; English A-levels; American High School Diploma? This service also applies when SIEPS is required to liaise with one or more educational institutions on your behalf in order to find answers to your specific questions. SIEPS is not a school. Consequently, SIEPS identifies in all objectivity the best possible educational options in terms of your educational background, requirements and expectations.Aptitude tests
The degree of our success is very often a function of our educational and professional pursuits being as much as possible aligned with our natural aptitudes. Aptitude tests are recommended to candidates who are still in doubt about their natural inclinations and talents. Aptitude tests are arranged upon request.Career counselling
Career counselling, including assistance with job application and training for selection interviews, is particularly appreciated by students looking for internships / work opportunities during their studies or by graduating candidates who want to start their professional career.Private tuition and language tests and other official testing
PRIVATE TUITION SIEPS arranges for private tuition in various subjects (including business English and other languages): • In preparation for entry into or continuation of various educational programs. • For revision. • In preparation for various external tests and examinations (language and other tests or examinations). LANGUAGE TESTS As an official proof of your language skills. SIEPS informs you about examination centres and the contents and the level of the examinations. SIEPS, at your request, registers you for these tests and examinations. The official proof of the level of your skills in the language in which you wish to study gives you the best chance with your visa and course applications. TESTING OTHER THAN LANGUAGES AND APTITUDE Other tests and examinations: TOEIC, Cambridge First Certificate, TOEFL, DELF, GMAT.

The
SIEPS
Educational
Database
includes
some
of
the
most
significant,
internationally
recognised and oldest private international schools and universities in Switzerland.
Their
excellence
is
guaranteed
by
the
various
accreditation
levels
and
quality
labels
they
have earned.
SIEPS
helps
students,
parents,
schools
and
universities
come
closer
together
by
providing
an Educational Database comprised of:
•
A
quality
oriented
list
of
some
of
the
oldest
and
most
prestigious
private
schools
and
universities in Switzerland
•
Including their respective educational programs offered
•
A complete list of accreditation agencies
•
An exhaustive list of affiliation bodies
•
A list of degrees and what they mean to you
Accreditation
is
a
type
of
voluntary
quality
assurance
process
under
which
educational
programs
are
evaluated
by
an
external
non-governmental
body
to
determine
if
applicable
standards are met. If this is the case, the agency grants an accredited status.
Accreditation
is
not
permanent.
It
must
be
maintained.
A
school
has
to
demonstrate
during
a
regular
review
process
that
it
has
developed
and
grown,
not
just
maintained
the
status quo.
Accreditation
also
permits
an
evaluation
on
an
international
level
regarding
recognition
or
equivalency of the degree you receive.

The
degrees
offered
by
schools
and
universities
the
world
over
may
be
the
same
but
not
all
educational
approaches
to
obtain
that
degree
are
the
same!
Each
private
school
or
university
in
Switzerland
offers
their
specific
tailored
made
approach
to
education.
This
approach
is
expressed
in
the
way
they
adapt
their
educational
curriculum
in
order
to
meet
their own respective standards of excellence.
An
academic
degree
is
a
college
or
university
diploma,
often
associated
with
a
title
and
sometimes
associated
with
an
academic
position,
which
is
usually
awarded
in
recognition
of
the
recipient
having
either
satisfactorily
completed
a
prescribed
course
of
study
or
having
conducted
a
scholarly
endeavour
deemed
worthy
of
his
or
her
admission
to
the
degree.
Understanding
what
degree
is
right
for
you
can
be
a
daunting
task!
To
this
effect
SIEPS
has
made
available
an
exhaustive
list
of
degrees
offered
by
private
schools
and
universities in Switzerland. Browse and learn!
An affiliation is not an accreditation process, but merely an association with another entity.
The
main
advantage
of
affiliation
bodies
is
that
they
often
incorporate
an
international
network
of
partners,
associates,
business
networks
and
professionals
in
various
industries
and
therefore
offer
interesting
opportunities
for
students
to
enter
the
“real
world”
and
the
international job market through their affiliates worldwide.
Affiliation
bodies
can
also
include
a
select
and
alumni
group
of
dedicated
professionals
or researchers that have affiliates in your area of interest for further study application.
