ETH Prerequisites and Procedures for an Exchange

Check first whether your average grade is sufficiently high and you possess one of the required language certificates if the respective host university requires before proceeding any further!

At departmental level, it is not possible for Bachelor’s students to commence the worldwide programmes during BSc in 5th or 6th semester.

D-MAVT selection for worldwide programmes according to the average grade and degree level; D-MAVT recommends 5th semester Bachelor’s students apply for an exchange and commence their exchanges during 1st or 2nd

semester of their Master’s studies.

D-MAVT Selection for Worldwide Programmes

mailto:[email protected]


D-MAVT study programmes decide if credit transfer and recognition is possible.

Credit and grade conversion will be done by the D-MAVT Student Exchange. Academic achievements abroad can be recognised at ETH only if there is an

original transcript through the exchange formally approved by the D-MAVT Student Exchange.

A semester project or a thesis work can be done at the partner university but needs to be registered at ETH, graded by a supervisor at ETH who is approved by the tutor. Thus, it won’t be recognised as “exchange”.

Students should contact the D-MAVT Student Exchange regarding credit recognition prior participation in summer schools organized by ETH.

Achievements through a self-organized exchange can not be credited.
