How to apply

The scholarship application period for the 2025-2027 cycle is now open. Please refer to the “programme” section of this website for dates of specific programme modules.

Please note the following:

• General admissions: For applicants who are not seeking a scholarship for non-OECD citizens, please apply for the course ETH online application website. The general application period is open from June 1-30, 2025. If you have questions in advance of the application period or wish to discuss your application, please reach out to to discuss further.
• Scholarship applications: The program has scholarships available for highly qualified candidates from non-OECD countries. Please refer to the "scholarship application" sub-tab on this website for more details. The application period for the scholarships is open until April 13, 2025.

If you are applying for a scholarship and are financially unable to attend the programme without receiving a scholarship, we ask that you please wait to submit a formal application to ETH until after scholarship awards are announced. In other words, please apply first for a scholarship and should you be awarded a scholarship, you can then submit a formal application to the programme through the School for Continuing Education.
