At the University of Liechtenstein in Vaduz, EU/EEA and Swiss citizens pay CHF 950 per semester and all other students CHF 1,250 – the same for bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes. It offers degrees in architecture, business administration, entrepreneurship, finance and information systems, and you can start in September or February. Read how to apply and how to plan around CHF 1,500 a month.
Students can usually work while studying, especially during semester breaks – within the rules on residence and employment. Important: if you have a residence permit for study purposes, you need approval from the Migration and Passport Office (Ausländer- und Passamt) before you start any job. Your employer submits the request (Stellenantrittsgesuch). According to the university, with a residence permit you may work up to 35% of full time during the lecture period and full time during semester breaks.
Remember that studying is a full-time job – the university counts on about 40 hours of study a week. If you need to work more, all degree programmes can in principle also be completed part-time.
