Tutors and Courses

Most students have a confirmed tutor- 38 tutors from 9 different ETH Departments were available to choose from- 70% of students have their first-choice tutor

Role of the tutorTo supervise/support the students - in putting together a study plan (called the Tutor Agreement / Learning Agreement)- with master and/or the semester thesis- profile is built by choosing courses from a catalogue of over 50 energy-related courses

offered at ETH Zurich
