Moderate increase in tuition fees

Berne/Zurich, 5.7.2018 - Tuition fees at ETH Zurich and EPFL will only be increased by CHF 300 p.a. rather than by CHF 500 as initially planned. This was decided by the ETH Board after a hearing in the ETH Domain, an office consultation procedure, internal deliberations concerning cushioning measures and discussions with political parties. The increase will be made step by step over two years from autumn 2019. The tuition fees at both Federal Institutes of Technology will cost CHF 1,460 p.a. from 2020 and will continue to be among the lowest in Switzerland.
