Switzerland Pre-University/Vocational School Subjects: Communication and Information

Federal Vocational Baccalaureate (Berufsmatura)

The Federal Vocational Baccalaureate supplements vocational education and training (VET) programs in Switzerland, providing a pathway to universities of applied sciences. It broadens the general education of students completing a three- or four-year VET program.

Within the Federal Vocational Baccalaureate framework, "Communication and Information" is one of the specialized areas of study. This field prepares students for professional education in communication-related fields at the tertiary level. Specialised schools offer focused training in areas like communication and information, design, arts, and more. These schools serve as an alternative to the traditional baccalaureate or federal vocational baccalaureate.

Fachmittelschule (FMS)

The Fachmittelschule (FMS) is a vocational training program that follows compulsory education. It offers practice-based training in three main professional fields: health and natural sciences, pedagogy, and communication and information. The FMS within the communication and information field provides a foundation for various communication-focused careers.
