Hello! I'm thinking of moving to Switzerland. I will start learning the language. Is there big difference between german and swiss german? In order to learn the correct one.

Thank you very much for your videos, you are a very inspiring person although you look very young.

Good luck and thank you!

Thank you Sarah for the explanation 😊 i have a dual citizenship which includes Swiss citizenship, but i have a non EU degree from Egypt. Currently getting my degree recognised in German, and then after 3 years i’ll be moving to Switzerland. I have counselled many people who already work in Switzerland, mostly advised me to take this route.

i am sorry, but do you have any idea regarding the Swiss Exam ? Is it like a pro exam from 1st year until 6th year? Because i see that i can possibly take the 2nd or the 3rd pathway.

Hi Sarah, I'm a 3yr medical student thinking of moving to a french canton. I've already done my french B2 and spent the summer in an dermatology clinic in frirbourg (loved it). Is there any way i could contact you to get some more information? many thanks, Ignacio

Hi Sarah, thank you for this video. I wanted to ask if you have a work email where one could send you a slightly longer question about finding a job in the Swiss system? Thank you so much

I am Croatian (EU), studied in Serbia (non-EU) and am getting my degree recognized in Ireland (EU). I speak German (had a C1 degree 7 years ago and was told I am at a B2 level right now). After 3 years of clinical exp. in Ireland, I should be able to go to Switzerland-right? I am just wondering if I could apply for speciality training there.

how common is the 3rd pathway? would it be recommended to do a residency in my home country first before applying attempting the 3rd pathway?

Hii I'm thinking about becoming a doctor in Switzerland but I've read the working conditions are really poor, can you share a bit about your experience regarding this issue? Thankssxx

Hi Sarah, thanks for your video especially after the small hiatus! I'm swiss, grew up in vaud, did med school in London and am working as a GP trainee in london- most likely will stay in the UK indefinitely. The December deadline is really tempting just to get the diploma recognised even if I don't end up moving back to Switz. Does is cost up to 1000chf just for diploma recognition eg geneva/vaud- or was that for all the admin to start working in switzerland too?

what if we are non eu citizen that did the medical degree in the EU?
