The Canton of Zug has two baccalaureate schools (Kantonsschule) which entitle graduates to enter university. The baccalaureate certificate (Maturitätsausweis) is recognised throughout Switzerland. Holders are entitled to study at a university, an ETH, a university of applied sciences (after internship) or a teacher training college (Pädagogische Hochschule).

There is also a specialised upper secondary school (Fachmittelschule) and an upper secondary business school (Wirtschaftsmittelschule) in the Canton of Zug. Upper Secondary Specialised School Certificate entitles the holder to attend a college of higher education. The specialised baccalaureate entitles the holder to study at a university of teacher education or a university of applied sciences. The vocational baccalaureate entitles the holder to study at a university of applied sciences. With the transition (Passerelle), a supplementary examination, the specialised baccalaureate or the vocational baccalaureate also entitles the holder to study at a university or a Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH). Preparation for the supplementary examination is voluntary. It can be done autodidactically or within the framework of preparatory courses, usually lasting two semesters.
