The Master in Mechanical Engineering and alternatively the Master in Process Engineering are both consecutive Masters, meaning that students with an ETH Zurich Bachelor in Mechanical Engineering are automatically admitted without going through the admission procedure.

External students

For admission to the program, a university Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering comprising at least 180 credit points is required. Candidates for the Master's Program must present proof of specialized knowledge and ability in the field of mechanical engineering. The program requirements are based upon skills and knowledge taught in the ETH Zurich Bachelor's Programs, these are a minimum 
(requirement profile) and serve as a basis for the admission procedure.
