Foreign students may work a maximum of 15 hours per week during their studies, and up to 100% during summer/semester breaks. This considers international students from EU/EFTA.
⠀
However, students not from EU/EFTA region may only start working six months after the beginning of their studies. Students from this group would also need to apply for specific permit with possibility of partial employment, that will allow them to legally work. This does not include internship, which are falling under a totally different category in the Swiss labor law.
