No, MBBS is not free in Switzerland. While Swiss citizens and permanent residents enjoy subsidized tuition, international students are required to pay tuition fees. These fees can vary depending on the university and specific program, but they are generally affordable compared to other countries.
For example:
- The University of Bern charges approximately CHF 750 per semester.
- Other universities may charge between CHF 1,550 to CHF 6,500 per year.
Therefore, while studying MBBS in Switzerland may be more affordable than other countries, it is not completely free for international students.
