Hello Anita,

It depends on a lot of things so more information would help... your nationality for instance (non-eu students are not allowed to work for the first 6 months of their studies... among other things). I studied engineering so my field is kind of narrow but if you give enough details more people will be able to contribute.

Good luck!

thanks for your answer.

im an eu-citizen, im from romania, and for the moment i work as an au-pair. i haven't studied anything like medicine/nursing before, so this is why im not sure about the whole thing.

I believe non-residents are not allowed to study medicine. I don't know about nursing though.

I think there are still restrictions for Romanian nationals concerning working permits. What I remember is that you can work up to 20 hours a week if you are a student.

Good luck!

Hi Anita,

I was in a similar situation.  I am from the US and moved here due to my wife accepting a job.  In the states I was on track to become a physician assistant (which is kind of like a doctor, but without as much school).  I tried to get into University of Zurich, but they said since I don't speak German at a C1 level, I could not get in.  They only have Masters and PHD programs in English.  I ended up finding a degree that was related to health sciences, online through a university back in the US.  Don't know if this helps, but good luck.
