How do I register? Follow the stages of the registration process

a. Prepare your documents

We recommend that you have your details and documents at hand when completing the online registration form, as you will need to enter them into the system.

b. Fill in the registration form online

In order to register, you must first create a Switch eduID account (if you do not already have one). Switch eduID is an authentication procedure used by all Swiss universities. Please enter your private email address as your main contact, as this will remain valid even after you have left UniDistance Suisse.

You will later use your Switch eduID login details to log in to our various online platforms. Please save the password you create, as you will need it later.

Once you have created your account, you can complete the registration form. Filling it out involves several steps where you can fill in all your details: Choice of programme, personal details, degrees entitling you to access, uploading documents.

c. Print out the confirmation of registration

At the end of the form, you will find a document entitled «Confirmation of Registration». This will also be sent to you by e-mail. It must be printed out, dated, signed and sent, together with your documents, before the registration deadline. No application will be processed without these documents.

d. Send in your application

Send a paper copy of all your documents and degrees/diplomas by post, in one envelope, to the following address:

In German or English:
UniDistance Suisse
Student Services
Schinerstrasse 18
3900 Brig

In French:
UniDistance Suisse
Student services
Technopôle 5
3960 Sierre

If parts of your application are missing, we will be unable to process it.

You will then receive either a request for additional information if required, or a provisional confirmation of admission together with an invoice for the fees for the first semester.

This invoice must be paid within the stipulated period.

Final confirmation of your registration will take place as soon as your payment has been received.

You are officially matriculated from the first day of the semester (spring semester: February 1^st / fall semester: August 1^st ).

As this procedure is relatively lengthy, we strongly encourage you to allow sufficient time for processing your application so that you can receive all your documents and access details before the start of the course.

Withdrawing your application

You can withdraw your application before the beginning of the semester. However, an administrative fee will be charged. More details can be found in the Fees Rules (in French and German).

As an international student, do I need a residence permit to study at UniDistance Suisse?

You do not need such a permit because you are not required to be a resident in Switzerland to study with us. Your nationality plays no role in your admission. Only the formal criteria outlined in the Admission Regulations are considered.

I have a foreign certificate of education. Does that entitle me to enroll at UniDistance Suisse?

Holders of foreign diplomas may be admitted provided that the diploma obtained is recognised as equivalent to those set out in article 8, paragraph 1 of the Admission Regulations. You will find our admission requirements by country of origin of the diploma in Annex B of these regulations.
