Admission Requirements

Requirements before admission

A Master’s degree recognised by ETH, or an equivalent qualification.

Candidates should provide documentation of their strong interest and affinity to the CAS theme (e.g., professional trajectory in a technology-based corporation).

Candidates need to be fully proficient in English, ideally at C1 level.
(While we do not require proof by default, we do reserve the right to ask for an English language certificate should we find you struggle with the successful participation in the programme due to language barriers.)

Requirements after admission

We expect participants to join all in-person sessions. In case a session is missed, an alternative assignment will be issued such that certification is still possible. The following on-campus time requirements apply throughout the year:

Core Knowledge (7.5 days): 5 x 1.5 days: Thursday (half day) / Friday (full day)

Leadership Development (5 days): 5 x 1 day: Saturday (full day); in conjunction with Core Knowledge modules.

Business Trajectory Coaching (0 days): no on-campus sessions. However, individual coaching sessions can be booked in-person if preferred.

Peer Learning (3 days): 1 x 3 days: Thursday / Friday / Saturday (full days).

Participants receive access to an online learning platform on which they can consume content at their own pace (asynchronously). The CAS ELTV requires strong motivation and commitment by each participant: the self-study components are essential to have a good experience during the on-campus sessions.

The programme consists of an estimated 7.5 days of online proprietary materials.
