Informationen about the exam
ETH Zurich offers two types of entrance exams: the comprehensive and the reduced entrance exam.
Reduced entrance examination: If the candidate holds a degree that is very similar to, but not equivalent to a Swiss Matura, the reduced entrance examination is sufficient in most cases.
Comprehensive entrance examination: If your own educational background is only partially equivalent to the Swiss Matura (fewer subjects or lower level than in the Swiss Matura), or if you do not have a Matura or a similar qualification, the comprehensive entrance examination must be completed. More information on the admission requirements for the entrance exams and ETH can be found here.
For more information on the admission requirements of Swiss Universities for students with a foreign degree, please consult the list of countries of Swiss Universities.
