First, study in Switzerland and change your major.
First of all, Switzerland's perfect and rigorous education system believes that a scholar should continue to study this major at the master's stage, and even extend to the doctoral stage. If you apply for a major unrelated to the undergraduate course at the master's stage, the school will have questions: how to ensure the in-depth research in this field at the master's stage when the undergraduate course has not learned the relevant basic knowledge? Therefore, if there is a big difference between the undergraduate major and the applied master major, the professionalism and specialization of the applicant's research will be questioned by the applicant, and the success rate of natural application will be greatly reduced.
In addition, compared with some established countries studying abroad, the tuition fees of Swiss public institutions are generally very cheap. In the doctoral stage, some schools even waive tuition fees, provide living allowances, or provide job opportunities to help tutors do research. This makes many students consider continuing their studies in Switzerland after graduation. There are also some students who want to study another major at low tuition in Switzerland. Swiss schools attach great importance to students' academic research ability. Facing an excellent applicant, the school welcomes students with low tuition fees or scholarships as feedback. However, the premise is that students should be good enough in the professional field, and students who change their majors across a long span are usually not considered for admission.
Switzerland is proud of the world for its high academic level and stubbornly adheres to the professionalism in the academic field.
So there is really no chance to change majors when studying in Switzerland?
Management class
The welfare of liberal arts students has come. Recently, many liberal arts undergraduates came to consult. Among them, there are English majors, pedagogy majors and so on. In addition to continuing to apply for a master's degree in this major, you can also choose a management major. For example, the Master of Management from the University of Geneva and the Management from the University of Zurich (in different directions). They are all taught in English. In addition to meeting the admission requirements of regular public universities, people who have no previous business background need to have gmat or gre scores. This is the key to changing majors.
financial
Children of science and engineering, I know you have always loved your major. The application of various engineering majors in Switzerland is a hot topic every season. But!

Major in financial banking-have the opportunity to work in Switzerland
There are many famous business schools specializing in financial education and research in Switzerland, and they are important financial institutions of higher education in Europe. The contents of their bachelor's and master's courses in finance are very practical.
Most students majoring in business and finance in Switzerland are masters. It is more difficult for public schools to apply.

Universities like Zurich and St Gallen in Switzerland only offer master's degrees in this field.
Swiss universities treat international students equally. Swiss universities used to give preferential treatment to students from EU countries, but now China students can get the same treatment. When students graduate, the university will always lend a helping hand.

Third, the misunderstanding of studying in Switzerland

Just take the TOEFL IELTS test in an English class, and you don't need to learn a small language. Then study in Switzerland, and you can study if you are interested. You can also learn German/Italian/French and so on. After all, with a language environment, you can learn quickly. Mastering small languages is also very helpful for future employment.
Swiss universities are too good to apply.
There are three universities in the top 100 of Swiss universities, the best one is ETH (Federal Institute of Technology Zurich), followed by Lausanne Institute of Technology and the University of Zurich. Students also apply every year. The overall application difficulty is higher than that of Germany, but as long as the average score is high and the language is good, it is not completely hopeless.
