Educational objective
A non-Swiss secondary school leaving certificate will be recognized with regard to its educational objective if the following criteria are fulfilled:
- The upper secondary level is specifically designed to prepare students to study at universities by providing a broad, balanced and coherent education and is not a subject-specific or vocational training at the same time.
- The secondary school leaving certificate that concludes the upper secondary level serves as a general higher education entrance qualification, granting the holder access to all university study programs in the higher education environment in the relevant country.
- The certificate also entitles the holder to admission to a study program at a state-recognized university within the education system of the relevant country, with its curriculum being equivalent to the selected bachelor’s degree program at the University of Basel (see also “Requirement for proof of admission”).
