Supervisors and institutes

We have a guest coming from abroad. Which ETH Zurich office deals with the administrative formalities?
Please see ‘Information for Institutes’.

Do you apply for visas for our foreign students? Do you also find them accommodation?
Students in exchange programmes administered by the Student Exchange Office are advised by us on how to apply for a residence permit, and if necessary we apply for their visas.
For information on accommodation please see ‘Living in Zurich’.

Is the foreign student in our laboratory covered by insurance provided by ETH Zurich?
Mobility or exchange students at ETH are covered by supplementary workplace accident insurance through ETH, just like regular students. For more information about insurance, see the Rectorate website.

I would like to initiate a new exchange agreement. How do I proceed?
The procedure varies according to the country of the potential partner university. Please contact the Mobility Advisor in your department or the Head of the Student Exchange Office, Dr. Angelika Wittek.
