   How it compares

   Switzerland has 80 universities in total, and PHSG sits within that landscape as a public institution with a focused set of 18 programmes rather than a very broad catalogue. That makes it a more specialised choice for applicants who want a teaching-oriented university with subject areas such as education, languages, biology, and business.
