Frequently Asked Questions
Is ETH Zurich hard to get into?
ETH Zurich is extremely competitive. Swiss high school graduates go through a qualifying exam. International students (non-Swiss) apply at master's level, where acceptance is more accessible but still selective (≈25–35% acceptance rate for master's).
Is Switzerland very expensive to live in?
Yes, Switzerland has a very high cost of living. Zurich and Geneva are among Europe's most expensive cities (CHF 2,000–3,000/month total). However, student wages are also very high (CHF 20–30/hour for part-time work), helping offset costs.
