A bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences at these institutions is the first degree level for students heading into research, laboratory work, applied sciences, or further study. The options suit applicants who want an undergraduate route rather than a diploma or master’s level entry point.

All institutions in this set are public. Two are in Zurich, while the rest are spread across other Swiss locations or are institutions without a city named in the facts. Tuition is published for ETH Zurich at CHF 1,000 and for the University of Zurich at CHF 1,500; fees for the other institutions should be confirmed directly with them.

Before applying, verify the exact programme title, entry requirements, teaching language, and annual tuition. Confirm which city a programme is based in if it is not named, and check whether the course leads to the study path you want after the bachelor’s degree.
