Qualifications awarded by Swiss higher education institutions

All institutions within the Swiss higher education sector award Bologna-compliant qualifications based on three levels of study: Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD. This three-tiered system is described in the Swiss Qualifications Framework for Higher Education (nqf.ch-HS). A qualifications framework serves the purpose of mapping out the various qualifications within the national education system. Descriptors are used to indicate the minimum requirements for each level.
