Bachelor Architettura d'interni

It depends on the type of activity. For example, a good knowledge of national languages is required to participate in fairs outside the canton. Other activities, on the other hand, do not require specific skills or knowledge.

No, being a member of the Student Association allows you to experiment and develop new skills, without necessarily having specific knowledge or previous experience.

Yes, they are free.

Yes, the sessions are completely free.

Yes, children from external families are welcome in the SUPSInido centers, depending on the number of available places.

In principle it is possible, but as you will see in the descriptive details of each procedure, among the requirements to be fulfilled often appears the constraint “I have not received other financial support”.

Yes, career counseling is open to everyone regardless of the field of study. Our consultants work across the board and are ready to support you regardless of your sector.

Yes, after a first contact with one of our coaches you can easily decide whether or not you want to continue with the coaching sessions.

Registration to the library is possible from abroad. If you wish to register with swisscovery, you must register with a SWITCH edu-id.

Yes. The Student Association is available to support students in dealing with any difficulties inherent within the university environment.

Open days/evenings are held between January and March each year, during which, for example, the content of the course, professional outlets and the admission procedure are presented. It is also possible to visit the campus and meet directly with students and lecturers.

Yes, since the Master’s programme also has a part-time option.

If you have already acquired ECTS at another university, or at another SUP, or in another SUPSI Bachelor programme, you are entitled to ask for recognition of equivalence, which must in any case be approved by the Head of the degree course. As regards any potential equivalence recognition for modules already acquired and that are related to the study programme, please contact the Head of the Bachelor programme in writing, but only after having passed the ranking examination at least 5 working days before the start of the semester.
Graduates of the Specialist Secondary School of Hotel and Tourism (SSSAT) who have graduated within the last five years and have passed the ranking exams are eligible for a passerelle agreement, with recognition of 90 ECTS credits.

Following the Bologna Reform, study courses have been structured into modules and each module is allocated a number of study credits according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). One ECTS credit is equivalent to a workload of 25 to 30 hours. 60 credits represent the annual workload in the case of full-time education. A Bachelor's degree requires 180 ECTS and a Master's degree 90 to 120 ECTS.

Applicants are selected according to the needs of the event and could be chosen, for example, depending on their course, language skills, year of study, etc.

No, the scheduled sessions (maximum 3) are covered by SUPSI.

Students who are citizens of EU/EFTA countries wishing to stay in Switzerland during their studies must apply for a residence permit for study purposes and register with the residents' registration office of the host municipality.
The enrolment at SUPSI of candidates from non-EU/EFTA countries, once they have carried out checks on their eligibility to study and passed any ranking and/or capacity examinations, presupposes the actual issuing of a residence permit by the authorities. Foreigners who are subject to the visa requirement must submit a visa application to the competent Swiss representation abroad. The deadline for submitting the application is 15 April, while the residence permit application must be submitted to the SUPSI Directorate no later than 30 June.

Yes, guidance counseling covers all levels of study. We offer support in the choice of Masters or higher professional trainings (APF, EPF, SSS) as well as SUPSI’s Continuing Education courses.

Access is possible both from SLSP and SUPSI library website. Here, authentication is made via the NetID – this is the same data you use, for example, for the school’s wireless networks and for the i-Corsi platform.

You can contact the library of your Department by e-mail or by phone. If necessary, an appointment will be made.

You can cancel your registration by writing an email to esperienza.studenti@supsi.ch.

Certification is through an accredited DELF certification body. For details, consult the document 'French Language Skills' on the website.

Once you have the certificate, send it to dfa.bachelor@supsi.ch.

On the following page you can purchase the type of subscription that interests you most. You can also download the MyWellness app to organize your workouts in the East Campus Gym.

The early childhood service collaborates with the SUPSI departments and with local institutions and organizations on issues related to early childhood (training, good practices, quality). 
You can contact the head of the early childhood service by calling (0)58 666 69 00

Your eligibility will be assessed when you submit an application for admission to your chosen degree programme. You can find preliminary information regarding admission requirements on the pages of the respective degree courses or you can contact the guidance service.

The ranking exam consists of two parts, namely a written exam in Italian and English (first part) and an individual oral interview (second part). 

The acclimatization time is organized over a period of 2-3 weeks and is generally followed by a few days at a reduced time. This delicate moment is necessary to create a smooth and safe transition for the baby, thus promoting his or her well-being once regular attendance begins.

A maximum of five meetings is offered to each student.

1 to 3 sessions can be held, after which a further follow-up meeting can be arranged two or three months after the last appointment. 

For SUPSI trainees (Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD students, assistants, and apprentices) the fees amount to:

• Daily fee: CHF 45.-
• Half-day fee (to be understood as attendance of less than 5 hours a day): CHF 27.-

The SUPSInido centers (Manno, Viganello, and Locarno) give priority to children of SUPSI students and collaborators. However, this does not guarantee that there will be short-term availability or that it will correspond to the family’s preferred days and times. We recommend that you contact your SUPSInido center as soon as possible (during pregnancy), for a non-binding pre-registration.

Languages are crucial for your future, particularly in an industry such as Leisure. The entry level required for regular English (beginning first year) is B1 (according to the PEL), while the entry level for German (beginning second year, but with the possibility to advance to the first year if certified in the internal assessment) is A2 (according to the ELP). You will not be required to have an international certificate, but it will be your responsibility to fill in any gaps in order to reach an adequate level of the language for the courses. Before the start of the courses, you will be able to take assessments to evaluate your level.

We are available for support in preparing your application dossier. In some specific cases, we can also evaluate a modification of the chosen frequency model (eg going from the PAP model to a TP and vice versa). We suggest you expose your specific situation to one of our counselors, so that all possible options can be evaluated.

For foreign students not resident in Switzerland, it is unlikely that they can count on public scholarships, as they are managed at cantonal and communal level, which means that each canton and/or commune attends only to its residents.

The Swiss Confederation offers scholarships for excellence to foreign students, researchers and artists in Switzerland:

• Scholarships for research stays, doctoral or post-doctoral studies at a university, a Swiss institute of technology and a university of applied sciences in Switzerland (no scholarships at Bachelor's or Master's level).

•  Scholarships for advanced art studies at conservatories and art universities in Switzerland (only available for a limited number of countries).

We recommend that you check the support possibilities in your home country and apply for funding in advance. For example, the page of the Italian government's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation offers information on this.

There are some scholarships from private foundations that do not preclude access to students living abroad but are awarded to the best students and only cover tuition fees.

Our psychologists will help you find a therapist outside SUPSI, in which case the costs will be covered by yourself or by your health insurance depending on the coverage you have contracted with it.

No, a follow-up of more than 3 sessions is not possible with a SUPSI counselor. On the other hand, if the meetings have been arranged with an external collaborator, it is possible to maintain a follow-up with them. In this case, however, the costs are not covered by SUPSI and therefore remain at your charge.

Yes, the year of on-the-job experience completed in order to acquire the practical skills needed for enrolment is considered as valid work experience for the PAP curriculum (in parallel with professional working activity).

The costs of accommodation and (partly) of food are covered by SUPSI.

Some modules require compulsory attendance while others do not. Details of whether attendance at individual activities, courses or modules is compulsory are specified in the respective module description and indicated by the lecturer responsible at the start of the course.

As stated in the "Regulations for Bachelor and Master Studies", compulsory attendance is indicated in the description of each module/course in the "Course Details" section.

In the first year, attendance is compulsory.
For further semesters, attendance is compulsory for practical and laboratory activities.
For details, please consult the DTI Bachelor's degree application guidelines.

Compulsory attendance of courses is specified in the module descriptions found in the Study Programme. For courses requiring attendance, absences amounting to more than 20% may mean that the module is automatically not certified.

In principle, yes – subject to the recovery of study credits and only for Master degrees related to one’s Bachelor degree. It is the university in which you enroll that decides on the exact amount of study credits that you need to compensate.

Due to the limitations of practice opportunities during the programme, the degree course in Leisure Management has a limited number of places. The number of places available is defined annually by the Department's Management (approximately 35 places). For this reason, there is an admission procedure subject to the results of a ranking list.

SUPSI qualifications are valid both in Switzerland and worldwide. In regulated professions, SUPSI qualifications also qualify for the profession in Switzerland, while in other countries it is necessary to check with the relevant body for recognition.

The Master's Degree in Specialised Pedagogy and Inclusive Didactics is recognised by the Swiss Conference of Cantonal Ministers of Education (EDK). It is therefore a valid qualification at federal level.

Yes, what is said during a meeting is bound to secrecy and confidentiality as required by the Swiss code of ethics for the category: “I membri sono tenuti alla segretezza su tutto quanto è stato loro confidato o è stato da loro osservato o appreso nel quadro della loro attività̀ psicologica. (…) I membri hanno la facoltà̀ di comunicare a terzi informazioni assoggettate all’obbligo di riservatezza unicamente se sussiste a riguardo il consenso comprovabile della cliente o del cliente, risp. della paziente o del paziente, se ciò̀ è richiesto da una legge federale o cantonale, se l’autorità̀ competente ha svincolato il membro interessato dal suo obbligo di riservatezza o in presenza di una situazione d’emergenza acuta.” (art. 16 codice deontologico FSP).

Educational commitments and teaching practice sessions are usually conducted on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

In general, possible activities include the following:

• Organising events

• Promotion

• Administration

• Participation in sustainable development projects

• Representation of the interests of the student community

Candidates in possession of (or who will obtain in the current school year) one of the following qualifications may take part in the ranking exams -

• vocational baccalaureate in economics and services (MPES)

• cantonal business certificate from Bellinzona 

• diploma from the Specialist Secondary School of Hotel and Tourism (SSSAT)

• foreign vocational baccalaureate in economics with the integration of professional practice

Candidates with a vocational baccalaureate other than those indicated above are required to complete a period of professional practice consistent with the content of the study programme of at least 900 hours (between 6 and 12 months) to be completed by the beginning of the academic year.

SUPSInido centers are open from 7:45 am to 6:15 pm, from Monday to Friday, except during holidays. There are 3 weeks of summer closure and 2 weeks of Christmas closure per year.

They are a contribution to the costs of teaching (school materials, charges for visits, general administrative and secretarial costs, teaching and IT support, etc.).

The Associazione Studenti carries out various activities, for example the accompaniment of students and the organization of meeting moments that stimulate communication and sharing of ideas between students.

The Field Project is first and foremost the first step in bringing you closer to the professional world. It is a consultancy training project, which you will carry out as a group in the 4th semester, accompanied by a lecturer from your degree course who will follow your group as a coach. A partner company in the area will assign you a challenge, providing you with all the necessary information and ensuring you receive the support you need to successfully complete the project. The work done by you and the other group members is evaluated by both the lecturer (coach) and the company through a written report and an oral presentation.

The internship is a period of professional practice of at least 18 weeks, which you will carry out in the final semester in a local, national or international company. From an educational point of view, thanks to the internship you will get to know the different working environments and people involved, integrate and apply the concepts, methodologies and tools learnt to a real challenge. During your internship, you will be a fully-fledged collaborator in the reality of your host organisation. The internship module corresponds to 24 ECTS for a total of 720 working hours. The internship is normally done 100% of the working time, in some cases where the needs of the company require it 80% over 22 weeks. 

On average, the monthly budget is around CHF 1’500.–. This includes food/rent in shared accommodation. This amount varies and is related to personal choices.

To guarantee educational and relational continuity for the children we host, the minimal attendance required is 40% (4 half days, 2 full days, or mixed formulas).

Each of the procedures for obtaining financial support or a scholarship sets out the requirements to be met. It is up to the applicant to assess and identify the option best suited to their personal situation.

Absences are to be announced as soon as possible at esperienza.studenti@supsi.ch or, if agreed at the beginning of the course, directly to the lecturer with a copy to esperienza.studenti@supsi.ch.
