For admission to the Bachelor in Mathematics, you need one of the following qualifications:
Building the fundaments of mathematical education takes time, and getting used to mathematical ways of argumentation also requires a lot of practice and discussion. Thus, the initial phase requires particular endurance and patience, before the students get used to abstract mathematical formalism and argumentation. This can be particularly challenging in an online setting. UniDistance Suisse therefore supports this process with direct contact between the students and between teaching assistants, professor, and students, as well as a more practically oriented first semester.
The required knowledge in mathematics corresponds to the level of the Swiss Federal Matura. Students who have taken a scientific Matura course are particularly well prepared. For your information, here is a list of subjects that are considered acquired before the beginning of the studies:
If you have gaps in any of the subjects and would like to prepare yourself as well as possible before the beginning of your studies, we encourage you to take our preparatory course consisting of a script, exercises and answers. The course is available to all registered students on moodle.
The terms and conditions of admission specific to individual countries can be found in Appendix B of the Admissions Regulations (DE / FR). It is important to remember that, as well as the necessary certificate of education, the additional terms and conditions of admission listed must also be met.
Anyone who, as a result of failing to pass examinations, has been excluded finally from further studies in a comparable course at a Swiss or foreign university or higher education institution cannot be admitted to this course of study at UniDistance Suisse.
Equivalent academic credits, which have been achieved at universities or higher education institutions, can be transferred, provided that they are judged to be equivalent in terms of scope and content, are suitable for the level, were achieved no longer than five years ago and were completed with a satisfactory grade. The relevant grade is included in the grading.
A minimum of 120 of the 180 ECTS points required for the Bachelor’s degree must be obtained at UniDistance Suisse. Where there are prior achievements, an appropriate application should be made during the online registration.
Do you fulfil the admission requirements but would like to take only one or two modules?
UniDistance Suisse offers you this possibility for one semester. Our Student Managers will be pleased to provide information and advise you on the choice of possible modules.
You must apply online. In order to complete the form, we recommend that you have all the information set out below to hand:
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.
Send a paper copy of all your documents and degrees/diplomas by post, in one envelope, to the following address:
In German:
FernUni Schweiz
Student Services
Churerstrasse 135
8808 Pfäffikon SZ
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.
Once the invoice has been paid, your admission is complete. You will then receive your documents, student card, access codes, Webmail, etc. and your matriculation number.
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.
You can withdraw your registration but this would have financial consequences. Please refer to Art. 4, Paras. 2 and 3 of the Rules on Fees (in French and in German).
