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).

The UNIGE already runs several master’s programmes with other Swiss universities (in Lausanne, Basel and Neuchâtel) and grants a joint MBA in collaboration with Georgetown University (Washington, DC).
