Overview

Helvetic Tech is committed to an admissions process that is fair, transparent, and inclusive. Candidates are evaluated based on individual merit, aptitude, and the ability to meet established eligibility criteria.

We recognize that not all applicants have had equal access to opportunities that reflect their full academic potential. As such, contextual factors are also taken into account to ensure a balanced and equitable assessment process.
Our approach embraces diversity without compromising academic standards, maintaining a careful balance between inclusivity and selectivity. Admissions decisions are also guided by our quality assurance framework and educational partnerships with international institutions.

Helvetic Tech strives to provide clear, accessible guidance to applicants and their families, helping them make informed decisions aligned with their academic background, interests, and potential.
