The international languages are regarded as being English and to a certain extent French. CERN, a large international research facility that straddles France and Switzerland uses both French and English for communication. I see no problem with an international university lecturing in both English and French - or just English.

I don't really understand the sense of your question. What would be the alternative?
Most classes are held in the local language, i.e. German, French or Italian. Only few classes are in English acutally.
OK, most Swiss students would be able to communicate with you in English on a more or less sophisticated level - but these conversations won't bring you much further in your studies.
Wihout English you would be completely lost if not being able to speak the local language - so it's a start, at least.

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Depending on what part of Switzerland one is in, better to make the effort of learning French, German, or Italian, respectively.
