In Switzerland, students at colleges of higher education are in many cases prepared to travel: Four in ten graduates completed a study programme outside their canton of residence. For two-thirds of them, the study programme was not offered in their canton of residence. After graduation, one person in ten was living in a different canton to the one prior to the study programme and one in five was working outside their canton of residence. This is shown by new analyses of 2016-2020 graduates from colleges of higher education, conducted by the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
