Eligibility Criteria

Open to applicants worldwide Academic Requirements You need a very good Bachelor's result, which ETH describes as being in the top 10% of your degree programme (equivalent to a grade A). Your academic standing is the central selection factor, so a consistently strong transcript matters more than any single component. Enrollment Restrictions ESOP is for students entering a consecutive Master's programme. If you are already enrolled in a Master's programme at ETH Zurich, or you already hold a Master's degree, you are not eligible. MAS (continuing-education) programmes are also excluded.

Scholarship Benefits

  • A scholarship of CHF 12,000 per semester toward living and study expenses.
  • A full waiver of ETH Zurich tuition (semester) fees.
  • Support for the regular duration of your Master's programme, which is three or four semesters depending on the degree.
  • Access to ETH's wider student support, research environment and facilities as an enrolled Master's student.
