ETH Zurich (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich) or Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich is a science and technology university founded in 1855. ETH is regularly ranked among the top universities in the world. 21 Nobel Laureates have studied, taught or conducted research at ETH Zurich.

Scholarships for international students

International students resident in Switzerland (Type B residence permit) should primarily exhaust all avenues for possible funding in their country of origin. ETH funding is intended to complement other funding sources, i.e., any funding granted from ETH will only cover a quarter of your study and living costs in Zurich. Hence, it is important for you to secure a scholarship from another source that covers the remaining amount of the costs incurred.

International Bachelor students can apply for an ETH scholarship when they have passed their first-year exams.

International Master students, who acquired their Bachelor’s degree at another university, can apply for an ETH scholarship when they have successfully completed the second semester of the Master programme.

Scholarship applications should be made on the appropriate form and sent to the Scholarship Office. Order application form.

Application deadline
From 1 March to 30 June for the academic year commencing in the following autumn. The application must be submitted annually.
Newly-enrolled Bachelor and Master students should submit their application by the end of the second week of the semester (autumn and spring semester).

    1. Dear jamil,

      I indicated the link so that you can check and see if your desired courses are taught in English, because the Institute does have courses in English, you just have to check which ones. As for your age, well ther's nothing I can do about it. No way I can help you if you do not meet the Institute's requirements.
      Also, I would suggest you direct all your further questions to the Institute, seeing as they are best competent to answer them.

      Kind regards

Higher education commission of Pakistan is facilitating the award of scholarships that will cover tuition fee, bench fee, lodging and transport facilities, health coverage etc for the awardees to the selected institutions of Switzerland.

    Kindly do me a favor of sending my attached CV to relavant professor for a letter of consent of enrollment with him. To meet the timeline, I shall feel further obliged if a brief outline of the research at his end may also be sent to me for attaching a project proposal with my application as I could not find the details of research being done at your end from web sources.

  4. What a nice read!I have made a list of doctors, denistts, and vets near my home, arranging them by ‘Distance & Travel Time’ (because I imagine the worst case scenarios and that I’d be in dire need of medical help).I suppose what I should have done was to arrange my list of medical help in ‘English? Yes. No.’ order.Sigh, I wouldn’t know until I call to find out eh?
