However, students who are already enrolled will still be able to complete their Bachelor's or Master's degree without the fees tripling, according to the press release.

Fees for foreign students are an issue in Switzerland's negotiations with Europe. The EU has apparently shown itself willing to discuss an immigration protection clause. In return, however, it is demanding that European students do not have to pay higher fees than Swiss students.
