To support talent, the MAS ETH DFAB programme has decided to offer its own Scholarship.

The scholarship’s mission is to fund tuition costs of the programme for candidates of exceptional potential that prove economic need for this complete or partial support. The scholarship(s) will be distributed directly to the School of Continuing Education and will be applied solely to tuition fees.

​

Tuition and Cost of Living

Like any form of education, studying at ETH Zurich costs money. In addition to tuition fees, most importantly there are living costs to consider too. It is estimated that students spend CHF 16,000 to CHF 26,000 on study and living costs each year.

​

Foreign students that are not part of the EU. must additionally prove financial solvency of 21,000 CHF placed in a bank account recognized by Switzerland in order to apply for a student visa.

It is the responsibility of students and their families to finance the studies. If funds are insufficient, students may file for scholarship requests. If you have questions regarding the financing of your studies, please research financial aid possibilities at ETH Zurich or beyond.
