Swiss Government Scholarship Program 2010/2011

Written by ruditigan1 on September 19th, 2009

The Swiss Government through the Federal Commission for Scholarships for Foreign Students (FCS) grants a limited number of scholarships to developing countries, among which Indonesia is included.

These scholarships are offered to Indonesian POSTGRADUATE students wishing to study at a Swiss university. The aim of the scholarship is to enable grantees either to further their education or to undertake research work in the fields in which the universities are particularly active. The intended study should be useful for the development in Indonesia. In principle, the scholarship holders can study at any national Swiss university or Federal Institute of Technology as registered on the page 4. A candidate should take into account the possibilities offered by Swiss universities. Following programmes are not included in this scholarship: 1. Fine arts and music 2. Undergraduate studies 3. Hotel management studies 4. Student exchange programmes 5. Part-time studies 6. On-the-job studies 7. Correspondence courses

The duration of grant is for the nine-month academic year. Under certain conditions, which are justified by FCS and the related university, the scholarship may be renewed for a second year maximum. Conditions

  1. Indonesian citizen (priority: applicants reside and have professional career in Indonesia)
  2. University degree (min. Sarjana Strata-1/bachelor degree or equivalent)
  3. Candidates must be under 35 years old when applying (birth date after December 31, 1974)
  4. Sufficient knowledge of one of the official languages in Switzerland (i.e. German, French or Italian), depending on the location of chosen university, and English for some studies. Each candidates will have to undergo a language test at the Swiss Embassy in Jakarta in order to determine the oral and written language ability.
  5. Note: The proficient knowledge of one of the official languages spoken in Switzerland is a main priority of the scholarship selection, especially if the intended master programme is held in one of the languages. More over a scholarship holder should fully benefit from the offered scholarship. Without knowledge of one of the national languages it will be difficult to handle daily situations (foreign police, post office, bank, university life, etc). A qualified applicant who only has English proficiency could be considered as long as the master courses are fully conducted in English. This, however, will be subject to the applicant’s attendance of a special three months’ intensive language course in Fribourg or Lugano. The FCS will also cover the expenses for these courses, which usually start in July.
  6. Acceptance letter from the chosen university. Before applying the applicants need to contact the professor or direction of the postgraduate programme at the chosen educational institution in order to get a written confirmation of acceptance which must be submitted when filing the application. The requirements to obtain the letter have to be seen in the web site of each universities. Generally the request of the acceptance letter must be completed with a detailed and precise plan of the intended postgraduate study programme, curriculum vitae and certified copies of the university diplomas including academic transcripts. A certified translation is required if the originals are not issued in English, German, French or Italian.
  7. Detailed study/research plan and motivation describing clearly and precisely the aim of study. The possibilities offered by the Swiss universities should be taken into account, also the possibilities of professional reintegration when returning to Indonesia
