Partial recognition of a non-Swiss secondary school leaving certificate from a signatory country of the Lisbon Convention
A non-Swiss secondary school leaving certificate from a country that has ratified the Lisbon Convention is partially recognized with regard to:
- its educational content if, in the last three years of schooling at upper secondary level, five separately reported subjects that are independent of one another in accordance with the general education subject catalogue have been consistently attended,
- the period of study if the holder’s entire education (primary and secondary level) comprises at least eleven years and upper secondary level education comprises at least two years.
The holder of such a partially recognized secondary school leaving certificate can then be admitted to a bachelor’s program if
- the secondary school leaving certificate is recognized with regard to the educational objective,
- the secondary school leaving certificate is partially recognized with regard to its educational content and/or period of study, and
- documentation is provided of at least two successfully completed years of study (120 ECTS credit points) at a state-recognized university recognized by the University of Basel within the relevant education system in a subject area that is also offered at a Swiss university.
The credits required for this documentation must either have been earned in accordance with a regular study plan for a full-time study program or credited to the desired qualification within the relevant study program from a previous study program completed at the same or a different university recognized by the University of Basel.
