The programme is listed for each partner university. For non-European partners, there are two sub-programmes (ETH-wide and departmental). You must know the correct sub-programme for your application.

Application process

  • You may apply for only one partner university (no priority ranking of multiple choices).
  • Places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Departments assign places based on the submission date of complete and correctly submitted applications, which the departmental exchange coordinator will review and confirm as quickly as possible.
  • The rest of the process remains unchanged. First, check the requirements for an exchange (step 1) and follow the steps up to your application to the Student Exchange Office.
