[🇬🇧 Consultation on the increase of tuition fees - Implementation ]Link to the form: https://go.agepoly.ch/ate-consultationThe tripling of tuition fees for foreign students has unfortunately been decided by the Swiss Parliament. However, there are still details regarding implementation that remain open for discussion, such as the definition of "foreign students" and the implications of this increase for current students at EPFL and ETHZ.
Additionally, the ETH Board proposes that the tuition fees (currently 730 CHF) be tied to the Swiss consumer price index. Essentially, if the average cost of a shopping basket changes, the tuition fees would also change, for everyone, not just foreign students.
