What salary can I expect in Switzerland?

The following subsection has an overview of the salary of academics and researchers in Switzerland.

  • In general, salaries at universities in Switzerland depend on the university, the institute, the exact position, age and experience and often also from the source of the money (fellowship, university position etc.).
  • The employment pensum varies, too. PhD candidates e.g. are often employed only 50%. The effectif salary can therefore vary a lot from one place to another.

Private sector wages depend largely on education, sector, region and age.
