Language course
Planning to do an internship in Switzerland? A solid foundation in the language is essential to get the most out of your experience. Switzerland has four official languages: German, French, Italian, and Romansh. The language you'll need to focus on depends on the region of Switzerland where you’ll be interning. German is the most widely spoken, especially in cities like Zurich and Bern, while French is more common in cities like Geneva, and Italian is spoken in the southern region of Ticino.
