ETH Zurich is one of the leading international universities for technology and the natural sciences. They have a wide variety of specialized courses (great for 2-A or restricted electives), offered in English! Check out the selection here: http://www.vvz.ethz.ch/Vorlesungsverzeichnis/sucheLehrangebotPre.do?lang=en
- Be sure to select the language of instruction (at the bottom of the form) as English.
- Note: Students may not select courses with “AA” in the subject number, or courses marked with an ! symbol in the description.
- Students must select at least 2/3 of their courses from D-MAVT (the Zurich equivalent of the Department of Mechanical Engineering).
- Students should select at least 20 credits worth of classes.
Eligibility Requirements (by the end of Fall 2016):
2-A Majors: Sophomore Core subjects completed (2.087, 2.086, 2.01, 2.02A or B, 2.03, 2.04A, at least one of 2.00 and 2.678) plus 2.05, 2.051, 2.671 in Junior Fall.

Notes: The core ME curriculum at Zurich is taught in German, therefore English speakers will probably get transfer credit for subjects appropriate for a 2-A concentration or Restricted Electives only. Core class transfer credit can be discussed with the International Transfer Credit Officer should you find classes that seem to be good candidates.
