Graduation
After completing your studies you will graduate as "Master of Science in Management, Technology, and Economics." Once per year, we celebrate all graduates from the Department of Management, Technology, and Economics on MTEC Day.
When you have fulfilled the graduation requirements stipulated in the programme regulation you can file your degree request on myStudies and email a signed copy to MSc MTEC Student Services. After verification and approval, you will be awarded the title "Master of Science ETH in Management, Technology, and Economics". Your graduation certificate will be sent to you by post together with a transcript of records, and you will be invited to the upcoming MTEC Day to properly celebrate your graduation.
Your email address after graduating
Five months after exmatriculation, your ETH email address will expire. Please provide us with a permanent email address to ensure that we can send you an invitation to the graduation ceremony.
