Girls and boys, foreign students in Switzerland CAN find a work both during school and after. Yes, from the practical side it’s quite difficult, but from the legal side it is possible, so you need to look for ways. Firstly, all students can work no more than 15 hours a week, but for this you will need to wait for the first half of a year in the country (if you already have a master degree, you don’t need to). In addition, during the holidays you can work 100% (but for this you will need to get permission from the university secretariat, which will not interfere with your studies). Secondly, on some programs you are paid for projects, for your diploma work (if you are doing for a particular company), and the university itself also takes students to work part-time to perform various administrative functions. But the most pleasant news: after graduation, there is an opportunity to get a permit for 6 months to look for work and you will be considered on par with Swiss students (omg what a blessing), but of course the employer will need to prove to the authorities that you are an irreplaceable employee who is economically or scientifically important for the country. Of course, this is all very similar to a utopia about a democratic society, but the most persistent ones come up with something (as practice has shown).
