ETH Zurich Application Deadlines 2027 for International Students

ETH Zurich is Switzerland's federal institute of technology in Zurich, teaching bachelor's degrees mainly in German and most master's degrees in English. Non-Swiss bachelor applicants go through an entrance-examination system that depends on their school certificate, while master applicants apply directly to a specific programme; since autumn 2025 foreign students who do not qualify for the lower fee group pay close to three times the standard tuition.
