The Swiss Government is now offering gifted and interested young scientists and researchers from Ireland a number of university scholarships (Swiss Universities, Federal Institutes of Technology) within the framework of a scholarship pool (scholarships without fixed distribution by country – 20-30 scholarships to Western European countries/countries from the EU). The duration of the scholarship is for the nine month academic year 2012 – 2013, always from September to June.
Under the new regulations, candidates from the EU pool can only apply for research fellowships. It is not possible to apply for a Masters Scholarship except for study in Music Academies and Fine Arts and for Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS).
Within the framework of a special allocation, scholarships for fine arts and music academies are offered (without fixed distribution by country) to the best applicants who are already at an advanced stage of their training. The fine arts and music scholarships are granted for studies in public music academies, as well as art and design schools.
To a limited extent, scholarships are also offered for postgraduate studies (research) at the Universities of Applied Sciences. Applicants must have graduated for a university or university of applied sciences with at least a Bachelor Degree and wish to study in Switzerland at post-graduate level. This offer is relevant for the seven universities of applied sciences.
