Switzerland has once again shown why it is one of the best places in the world to learn and find work. The 2025 Global Talent Competitiveness Index (GTCI) says that Switzerland is the second best place in the world for talent, learning, and innovation.
What this means for students from other countries in Zürich
The high ranking shows that Switzerland, and by extension its cities like Zürich, is a great place for students to live and learn. The schools are great, the institutions are efficient, and there is a lot of support for talent.
Students who come here benefit from a system that is stable, innovative, and connected to the rest of the world. A good academic and career future is more likely at universities that are open to research, have good infrastructure, and are friendly.
Living and studying in Zürich now gives you more confidence because you are in a country known around the world for its high-quality education and talent development.
Why Switzerland is still the best
Switzerland is strong because it is consistently great in a few important areas: it has high-quality schools and research institutions, a stable and efficient society, and a strong ability to attract and keep talented people.
Switzerland still sets international standards in many areas, such as education, the efficiency of the labour market, and innovation. This helps international students do well, even though competition for talent is growing around the world.
What this means for the people who work in education in Zürich
For students choosing Zürich for their studies, this result reaffirms that they are choosing a top-tier, globally recognised education environment. Zürich is a great place for international students because it has high academic standards, a stable society, and chances for personal and professional growth.
Switzerland's new success in the 2025 Global Talent report is more than just a ranking; it's an invitation for students from all over the world to come to Zürich to study, grow, and build their future.
