Unterricht auf Französisch und Deutsch. Die günstigste der grossen Schweizer Universitäten, was das Wohnen in der Nähe angeht.
Zweisprachig, klein und für Schweizer Verhältnisse wirklich bezahlbar. Bei knappem Budget und offener Studienwahl die einfachste Adresse von allen.
Apply to the Fri-Logement office the day you are admitted — the list runs 2 to 5 months, so it rarely helps for your first semester, but it costs nothing and it helps for your second. Everything else means the private market.
File your residence permit dossier about three months before you arrive; processing runs eight to twelve weeks and nothing downstream starts until it is in. Register at your commune within fourteen days of landing, and sort health insurance within three months. The full timeline.
Campus is at Miséricorde. Choose your neighbourhood by commute rather than by postcode — a cheaper room forty minutes away costs you two hours a day for a year.
Most University of Fribourg applicants get stuck on the same thing: an agency that wants someone resident in Switzerland to co-sign. We do that, for 3 months' rent — after we have read your file, and we do decline some.
