Engineering master's in Switzerland

Swiss engineering master's are anchored by ETH Zürich and EPFL Lausanne — both perennial global top-15 for engineering — plus applied-science Fachhochschulen (ZHAW, FHNW, HSLU, BFH) and the Romandy HES-SO network. Sub-fields with the deepest English coverage: mechanical + process engineering, electrical + information engineering, micro-engineering, computational science, civil + environmental, materials, and robotics. ETH and EPFL charge CHF ~730/sem plus small fees; applied-science universities CHF ~800–1,500/sem — the same rate for EU and non-EU students. Admission at ETH and EPFL is competitive: strong quantitative bachelor's, IELTS 7.0 (or C1 German at ETH for some tracks), and a research-oriented transcript. Post-graduation, non-EU graduates get 6 months on a Swiss residence permit to seek work.
