Late applications for bachelor's studies with Swiss educational qualifications
The application deadline for the fall semester 2025 elapsed on 30 April 2025. Late applications to bachelor’s degree programs without admission restrictions can be submitted until 31 July 2025, provided a corresponding request is submitted by the deadline with the required documents/information. If the required documentation is incomplete or requires in-depth checks and clarification, the request for late application will be rejected. In this case, the applicant is free to apply for a subsequent semester in accordance with the proper deadlines. If the request is approved, the online application must then be submitted with all the required documents by the deadline provided. An additional fee of CHF 150 is payable for late applications. There is no entitlement to the processing of a late application, nor can the right to admission be derived from the processing of a late application.
The request must include the following information:
- Details on the Matura certificate or other certificate used as the basis for the admission
- Exact details on the desired bachelor's program
- Information on previous studies at universities and higher education institutions
- Copy of official identification (passport or ID card)
- Brief explanation for the late application
You can submit the necessary request by going to www.unibas.ch/studseksupport.
Please note the following items:
- Degree programs
