The Swiss government, through the Federal Commission for Scholarships for Foreign Studies (FCS), awards scholarships for postgraduate studies and research to candidates who are not residents of Switzerland. These scholarships give graduates from all fields the opportunity to conduct doctoral or postdoctoral research in Switzerland at a public university or well-known institution.

Graduates from Kosovo are invited to submit their application to the Swiss Embassy from September 1, 2017 to November 30, 2017.
