Under the Excellence Scholarship & Opportunity Programme ETH Zurich awards merit-based scholarships to excellent students wishing to pursue a Master’s degree.
The scholarship covers the full study and living costs during the Master degree course. In addition, the programme offers students the opportunity to carry out a research or development project on a topic of their choice.
Who can apply?
Application for an Excellence Scholarship is open both to ETH students and students from other universities wishing to pursue their Master’s degree at ETH Zurich. The scholarship can be awarded to students with very good performance in their bachelor study who belong to the best of their class.
The application consists of
- an application form, including
- a proposal for a research or development project
- letters of recommendation from two professors
If you are applying for more than one Master programme, please submit a separate application form for each degree programme for which you wish to be considered for an Excellence Scholarship and Opportunity Award.
Research or development project
The research or development project is an integral part of the Excellence Scholarship & Opportunity Programme. The project is carried out during the Master studies and independently of the obligatory courses. It can be done at ETH Zurich, at an associated research unit or in a company.
The topic of the project is of your own choosing. As a rule, the project should be carried out during your Master studies at ETH Zurich, but it can build on earlier work.
Supervision and funding are provided by the unit where the project is carried out. For projects carried out externally, a co-supervisor is appointed from ETH faculty.
Scholarship amount and duration
The Excellence Scholarship consists of a grant covering living and study expenses (CHF 1,600 per month). The tuition fee (CHF 580 per semester) is also waived for the duration of the scholarship. It is awarded for the regular duration of study of the student’s Master programme (three or four semesters). It can be prolonged for one additional semester in justified cases.
The Excellence Scholarship is awarded independently of the scholarship holders’ financial situation.
Selection
The applications for Excellence Scholarships are evaluated by the Admissions Committees of the respective Master programmes. The number of annual scholarships depends on the availability of funds.
