The Bachelor Humanmedizin at ETH Zürich is an undergraduate medical degree that begins each autumn and is taught only at the bachelor level. It suits applicants aiming for a university-led medical education in Switzerland who accept a competitive national selection process and a continuation to a Master programme at a partner university.
The ETH Zürich offers Humanmedizin exclusively as a Bachelor programme with study start in the autumn semester. The Bachelor level is the only stage taught at ETH; progression to a Master is ensured but takes place at one of ETH's partner universities.
The publicly stated programme information indicates a Bachelor-level medical curriculum delivered at ETH Zürich. Specific module lists are not published on this page; the site emphasises that the Master phase follows the Bachelor and is provided by a partner university.
Admission to the medical degree is restricted by a nationwide numerus clausus. For the autumn semester 2026 ETH Zürich will allocate a maximum of 100 study places. Further procedural details (examples: Swiss school-leaving certificates, foreign qualifications, re-entry, recognition of ETH or external credits) are referenced on linked pages but not detailed on this source page.
Completion of the ETH Bachelor enables continuation to a Master-level medical programme at one of three partner institutions: Università della Svizzera italiana, Universität Basel or Universität Zürich. Allocation of the Master study place is determined at the start of the third year of the Bachelor.
The programme page does not list specific scholarships. Prospective students should consult ETH Zürich's central student funding and scholarship services as well as national funding resources and the partner universities for Master-level support options.
