Our international Faculty and student body provide an immersive environment of cross-cultural perspectives. Every moment spent on campus, whether studying or relaxing, becomes a learning experience. We offer multicultural events, clubs, and activities to help grow your international competence and confidence. What’s more, Franklin offers opportunities for honors students, for students that may need some additional preparation, and for displaced persons needing additional support to begin or continue university study.

DIGITAL RESOURCES

Students use two digital platforms to keep track of their academic progress during their stay at Franklin University Switzerland. Moodle and Self-Service are both accessible through the Franklin web mail. The first is a learning management system with personalized learning environments for teachers and students. The second is a tool that help connect the Registrar, educators and students to ensure the completion of Bachelor's Degree requirements.

PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

Are you ready to take on your next adventure? Frankliners are the explorers who want more than what we already know. We engage the world with confidence and curiosity, questioning everything, even our own ideals and beliefs. We study internationally relevant topics because they matter to us, to humanity and our future. Each day is an opportunity to work through problems together. We are never alone, because we are supported by dedicated professors, our peers from 50 different countries, and an alumni population that spans the globe. We know that these connections will always be there for us.

Every semester, we enthusiastically step outside our safe haven here in Lugano, Switzerland, to learn more about the topics we love through the eyes of other cultures. By the time we graduate, we will have extensively studied the history, politics, economics, religion and arts of many different regions. We are confident, cross-cultural navigators and we aim to make a difference.

Warning: Mobility by Train

As a result of the derailment in the Gotthard Base Tunnel on August 10, the passenger trains between Ticino and the German-speaking part of Switzerland will be diverted via the Alpine Panorama Route until further notice. Although this journey is picturesque, it will take 60 minutes longer for national traffic and 60-120 minutes longer for international traffic. Since double-deck trains cannot operate on this route, there could be fewer seats available (30% fewer seats available on the weekends and slightly reduced capacity on weekdays). 

Our community is encouraged to refer to the SBB website for detailed information and plan for longer train journeys when traveling between Ticino and the German-speaking part of Switzerland.
