Dear Miss,
Thank you for your request.
Foreign graduates holding a Swiss university-level diploma are eligible for easier access to the labor market:
· To find employment, foreign nationals who have earned a Swiss university-level diploma will be entitled to stay in Switzerland for six more months from the time of completing their education or postgraduate studies.
· Those who are successful in securing employment will be issued a work permit, provided the prospective position involves anactivity of particular scientific or economic importance.
Having found employment, it is your prospective employer who has to apply for permission to hire you. The employer needs to send the application to the cantonal labour market authority.

Applications will be considered on a case to case basis.
· Particular scientific interest: May be eligible highly qualified scientists in areas related to their studies, i.e. scientific research, application of new technologies or other areas in which their specific know-how is of scientific interest.
· Particular economic interest: A particular economic interest may be given in highly specialized areas or if there is a specific need for such personnel on the Swiss labour market.
