The rate of university students from Switzerland who have completed education abroad by the end of 2020 is 15.7 percent, according to a report published Thursday (January 19) by Movetia, the Swiss agency for exchange and mobility.
The report “Mobility rate and internationalisation index of Swiss universities” shows only one in nine Swiss higher education institutions has met the 20 percent target set by the national strategy of the Confederation and the cantons and European Higher Education Area.
To meet the target, 20 percent of students from Switzerland should have completed education or placement abroad, Erudera.com reports.
“Only four out of the 36 universities surveyed meet the target of 20%. The average mobility rate of 15.7% of mobile students at the end of their studies (2020) is only achieved thanks to the exceptional performance of the institutions placed among the top three,” the report reads.
Institutions placed in the top five for the best results regarding student mobility are:
- The University of St.Gallen
- Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL)
- Pedagogical University of St. Gallen
- Universita della Svizzera italiana
- The University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland
