University of Zurich Application Deadlines 2027

The University of Zurich is Switzerland's largest university, teaching bachelor's degrees mainly in German and a mix of German and English-taught master's programmes. International applicants apply through UZH's general online portal, and since January 2025 they pay a higher application fee and, at bachelor's level, a bigger tuition surcharge than students whose entry qualification was obtained in Switzerland or Liechtenstein.
