Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne Application Deadlines 2027

EPFL is Switzerland's second federal institute of technology, based in Lausanne, teaching bachelor's degrees in French and most master's degrees in English. Non-EU/EFTA bachelor applicants without a qualifying certificate can sit an entrance examination, while master applicants apply directly with a relevant bachelor's degree; since autumn 2025 foreign students not otherwise exempt pay roughly three times the standard tuition.
