Whilst, historically, maturity<\/strong> is obtained by gymnasium<\/strong> (or secondary school cantonal<\/strong>), many candidates<\/strong> are now opting for the open pathway. This course presents an intellectual challenge that assesses your level of knowledge<\/strong>. In fact, the\u2019The Swiss Maturit\u00e9 examination enables<\/strong> to access directly the universities and polytechnics<\/strong>, but also to the teacher training colleges<\/strong> or to the universities of applied sciences<\/strong> (HES<\/strong>). The entire organisation falls under the remit of the the Swiss Commission\u2019s responsibility<\/strong> as part of their A-levels, under the supervision of the State Secretariat for Training<\/strong>. Here are the instructions for to reach maturity<\/strong> available in Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the\u2019admission<\/strong>, the State Secretariat<\/strong> (the SEFRI<\/strong>) requires the applicant to be in the year in which they turn 18. Unlike a sixth-form college<\/strong> classic or cantonal school-leaving certificate<\/strong> managed by the cantons<\/strong> (such as the Canton of Vaud<\/strong> or the Canton of Geneva<\/strong>), this federal examination<\/strong> is aimed at a wide range of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is open to independent candidates and to those currently enrolled in private school<\/strong>, but also to holders of a Federal Certificate of Competence<\/strong> (CFC<\/strong>) or a vocational baccalaureate<\/strong> and specialised baccalaureate<\/strong> who do not wish to go through the\u2019supplementary bridging examination<\/strong>. Please note that the federal school-leaving examinations<\/strong> are held twice a year, spread across the three language regions<\/strong> of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rather than spending the\u2019comprehensive review<\/strong> in one go; the majority of students choose to spread their efforts over two mid-terms<\/strong> (often several months apart). The secretariat<\/strong> of the Swiss Maturit\u00e9 Commission<\/strong> (CSM<\/strong>) strictly regulates these two stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This stage assesses core subjects<\/strong> requiring a strong memory. It comprises:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This final session covers the first language (French or German, depending on your region), the second national language, English and Mathematics. It is also during this session that students are assessed on their specific option<\/strong> as well as his additional option<\/strong>. Finally, he will have to defend his personal research project<\/strong> (the famous school-leaving project<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The assessment is based on three pillars<\/strong> : written and oral exams, and the research work<\/strong>. The written exams involve essay writing and problem-solving. The oral exams last around 15 minutes and assess the student\u2019s verbal fluency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The standard of quality guaranteed by the Confederation<\/strong> ensures that this Maturity enables people to<\/strong> graduates to have the necessary skills to join the universities<\/strong> of their choice, including the prestigious Federal Institutes of Technology<\/strong> (such as that of Lausanne<\/strong> or Zurich).<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Switzerland, marks range from 1 (very poor) to 6 (excellent), with a mark of 4 being a pass. To pass your school-leaving certificate<\/strong> (which has exactly the same value as a A-levels<\/strong>), the weighted total of all marks must reach a specific threshold set by SERI, with very limited leeway for marks that are below the required standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEnrolment, admission and entry requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
