Elite Sport and Studying

The status is granted to students who can demonstrate athletic achievements of national or international relevance (e.g. membership in a national team or a development squad recognised by the Liechtenstein Olympic Committee, LOC).

A written application must be submitted no later than four weeks before the start of the semester. Required documents include proof of athletic performance (e.g. Swiss Olympic Card), a description of your sporting goals, and a training schedule.

The Liechtenstein Undergraduate and Graduate School reviews the submitted documents and makes the decision. The status is valid for one year and may be renewed.

To apply, you must submit a completed application form along with the relevant documentation. With “Elite Sport” status, you will benefit from a customised study structure—enabling you to successfully pursue your degree despite the demands of high-performance sport.
