Bilingual Maturité
A bilingual Matura is the Swiss Maturité with a bilingual mention on the certificate. At a recognised gymnasium, several subjects are taught in a second language (another national language or English) within a recognised bilingual programme. Candidates of the Swiss Maturity Examination can also obtain the mention by sitting three subjects in the second language. It gives the same direct university access as the Matura.
