Tutors

This Master's Program is a tutor-driven program. The aim of the tutor system is to help create an individualized curriculum for the student and to provide one-to-one support: it ensures a top-class, specialized education which takes into account the student's talents and expectations. Tutors coach their students throughout the program, monitoring their progress and proposing any necessary adjustments required to enhance their performance.

The tutor approves the student’s choice of Core and Multidisciplinary Courses and approves the subject and the supervisor of the Semester Project and Master’s Thesis thus ensuring that their individual requirements and interest can be followed. The individual study plan is defined in the Learning Agreement on myStudies.

During the application phase, the Master student must select an authorized faculty member working in the desired area of specialization to be their academic tutor. The tutor will be specified in the admission letter.

The listed professors of the different departments at ETH Zurich are authorized to act as tutors.

Tutors can only be changed at the beginning of a semester and after filling in the form Download Change of tutor (PDF, 76 KB). A change of tutors needs to be approved by the Director of Studies.

After the change of tutor has been approved, the student has to submit an updated Learning Agreement on myStudies and needs to inform the former tutor.
