University of Fribourg
French, German and bilingual study routes, alongside selected English Master’s programmes.
THE STUDY ENVIRONMENT
A closer look.
Fribourg is useful for families comparing French-language study with a bilingual French–German education. Its Bachelor’s in Management covers the functions of organisations and can be followed in French, German or a combination of the two. The Master’s in International and European Business offers an English-language direction for students interested in international management. Beyond business, the university’s portfolio includes law, sciences, humanities and social sciences. The language choice should follow the student’s readiness and intended degree rather than an assumption that every programme is bilingual.
