Ways to save money by studying in Switzerland
1, one-time signing
It costs a lot of money to apply for a visa for international students in Switzerland, including the cost of notarization of materials, the cost of physical examination, the fee for proof of funds and the fee for submitting applications, which add up to about 3,000 yuan.
If everyone passes at one time, then the above expenses will not be wasted; And if the application fails and the re-submission is rejected, then the money spent on it is useless, and everyone needs to start over from the school application stage.
Step 2 apply for a bonus
Scholarships are one of the most important sources of income for international students. The Swiss government, schools and all walks of life attach great importance to education. One of the manifestations is the establishment of a large number of scholarships, which can basically be applied by international students.
Of course, scholarships are only available to people with excellent grades and abilities. Everyone needs to estimate their own level, and then choose the appropriate scholarship project to submit an application, so that the success rate of application will be higher.
Step 3 Work-study program
The way to make money with a lower threshold is to work. There are not many kinds of jobs that international students can do, and they can only work full-time in winter and summer vacations. Usually only part-time, the main content is study.
The sense of security at school will be higher, and most of the division of labor will be helpful for your study; Although there will be more job choices outside the school, the scope that everyone can engage in is relatively small, so we must learn to safeguard our rights and interests.
4. Take work as rent
Accommodation is a relatively large part of the daily expenses of studying abroad, and renting a house will be much more expensive than living on campus. However, if you choose a host family, you can consider exchanging labor for rent and paying rent with labor.
Generally, everyone's job is to calculate wages by the hour, and there is not much work, mainly to keep it clean and tidy, so as to offset the rent, which not only solves the rent problem, but also ensures the comfort of the living environment.
