Switch edu-ID

Switch edu-ID is the universal login for lifelong learning. Students and other users can access thousands of national and international services with Switch edu-ID.

Swiss universities participate in the Switch edu-ID identity federation, which is orchestrated by the Switch Foundation. Within the federation, members of universities can access services of other universities with their Switch edu-ID login. All personal data remains in Switzerland under the direct control of Switch and the universities and is covered by Swiss data protection provisions.
