2. 2

   What you can study

   ETH Zurich primarily teaches and conducts research in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Specific programmes are not listed, so the current programme catalogue should be checked on the university website before applying.

   Getting in

   International applicants should apply through the university’s official admissions channels and check the entry requirements on its website.

   How it compares

   Switzerland has 80 universities, so ETH Zurich sits in a crowded higher-education system rather than in a small national field. Its clear position as a public STEM-focused university makes it a strong option for applicants comparing science and engineering study across Swiss universities.
