Why Study in Switzerland?
Switzerland's tuition is low by the standards of its reputation, but the cost of living is among the highest anywhere. ETH Zurich raised its international student fee to CHF 2,190 per semester β CHF 4,380 a year β from autumn 2025, roughly triple the previous rate. That is still modest for a university of its standing; the real expense is living there, at CHF 1,800β2,800 a month.
Key Takeaways
- ETH Zurich charges international students CHF 2,190 per semester (CHF 4,380 a year) since autumn 2025
- Living costs of CHF 1,800β2,800 a month dominate the budget, not tuition
- Health insurance is mandatory at CHF 280β380 a month
- Visa applicants must show around CHF 21,000 a year in available funds

Tuition Is Not the Problem β Living Costs Are
Run the arithmetic before you fall in love with the idea. Tuition at ETH Zurich costs CHF 4,380 a year; living there costs CHF 21,600β33,600 a year. Housing alone runs CHF 800β1,800 a month and health insurance is mandatory, adding CHF 280β380 a month that many students forget to budget.
Proof of Funds for the Swiss Student Visa
Switzerland enforces its financial requirement strictly. The Canton of Zurich's Migration Office asks for confirmation from a Swiss-domiciled bank that you hold the equivalent of CHF 21,000 per year, in an account in your own name, denominated in Swiss francs, euros or US dollars. Some cantons expect more. Arrange this early β it is not a document you can produce at short notice.
