Important information for MSc MTEC students
Exchange Semester at a Partner University
If you have a Bachelor's from ETH and a GPA of 4.5 or higher, you can take part in an exchange semester. We recommend going abroad in your third Master's
semester. Start planning early!
To transfer CP:
- Core Courses need approval from the D-MTEC professor.
- Electives can be approved by the MTEC Mobility Advisor.
- Supplementary Courses must be added to your Learning Agreement.
- You can transfer up to 30 CP (at least 20 CP), and D-MTEC will convert grades and credits into the ETH system.

Thinking About an Exchange Semester at D-MTEC?
Here’s what you need to know to get started: To join us for a semester, you should have a Bachelor's degree in engineering or natural sciences with a strong academic background.
You can design your semester according to your interests by selecting courses from the ETH Course Catalogue. A minimum of 20 CP is required, with at least two-thirds earned through D-MTEC courses (course numbers starting with 363). Your learning agreement must be approved by your home university and D-MTEC.
Interested in research? You can also take part in a research project or write your Master’s thesis here – just make sure to get a letter of acceptance from a D-MTEC professor. Check out our website and the Chair Guide for research areas and contacts.
Exams take place during ETH’s official exam periods, and you’ll receive a transcript of records once your grades are final.
