Editing Numerus clausus (section)

=== Switzerland ===

The introduction of the ''numerus clausus'' in Switzerland has limited access to medical studies at the universities. At all universities of the German-speaking part of Switzerland, the students need to have a high score on an aptitude test that comprises logical and spatial thinking and text understanding skills.<ref>[http://www.lyceum-alpinum.ch/en/academic/college-counselling/switzerland-germany/ Eignungstest für das Medizinstudium (Switzerland).] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180422093735/http://www.lyceum-alpinum.ch/en/academic/college-counselling/switzerland-germany/ |date=2018-04-22 }} Numerus Clausus for Medical Studies in Switzerland and Germany.</ref>

The universities in the western, French-speaking part of Switzerland did not decide to introduce a ''numerus clausus''. Instead, these universities provide unrestricted access to the first-year curriculum in medicine; and the best first-year students are allowed to further their medical studies at the same or at another university. In other popular faculties like psychology or journalism, there are also aptitude tests—but they concern only a single university.
