A-Z for Newcomers

International students who want to work alongside their studies must follow the relevant guidelines of the University of Basel. You can find these via the link under point 7. In addition to the official job market website of the University of Basel, the Welcome & Euraxess Center has created a career search directory to help students and researchers find suitable job openings.

Switzerland is a small country yet very diverse. It consists of 26 cantons, some of which have very different regulations. Six of these are traditionally called “half-cantons”, including Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft. These differences show up, for example, in the registration processes with cantonal authorities, the financing of childcare, or waste disposal.

Tip: Download the Basel-Stadt cantonal brochure to learn more about Basel-Stadt.

Learn German or another language at the Language Center of the University of Basel and benefit from reduced prices as a university member.
