A bachelor's degree in Economics & Public Policy at this level is an undergraduate route for applicants who want training that can lead toward economics, policy analysis, or related public-sector work. It suits students who want a first degree rather than a diploma or a master’s, and who are deciding early whether they want a more economics-focused or policy-focused path.

The options are all public. One is in Zurich, while the others do not have a city stated, so the location advantage is clearest for the Zurich option. Tuition is published for one programme at CHF 1,000 minimum; the other fees are not stated, so compare cost only after confirming the full fee with each university.

Before applying, verify the exact course title, the entry requirements, the full tuition fee, the language of teaching, and whether the programme is the one you want at the bachelor’s level. Also confirm the city for each option that does not show one, because that can affect your living costs and daily travel.
