Application Deadlines
Fall Semester
1 December – 31 July
Spring Semester
1 May - 31 January
Late applications will not be considered.
Assessment of Application
Your application material will be assessed individually in order to establish whether and in what form you are
eligible for matriculation. Please note that it can take one to three months to assess your application once your
documents have been received. You will be notified in writing of your admission.
Matriculation in Person
If you are admitted to the University of Zurich, you will receive an invitation to matriculate in person. You are
required to bring the following documents in original:
Your secondary school-leaving certificate, your Bachelor’s degree certificate, and (if already on hand) your
Master’s degree certificate.
Swiss universities require the original secondary school-leaving certificate in order to assign – or where a number
has already been assigned, to control – an individual Swiss student ID number (matriculation number). This number
is on a small sticker that is usually placed on the back of the document. If you cannot present your secondary
school-leaving certificate, the sticker can be instead placed on the back of your Bachelor’s degree certificate.

Leaflet
Certified Copies and Translations
Certified Copies
An application for matriculation at the University of Zurich requires certified copies of the official documents which
are relevant for the applicant’s matriculation (secondary school-leaving certificate, university degrees, Transcript
of Records, etc.).
A copy has been certified if one of the following agencies has confirmed with an official stamp and
signature that the copy corresponds to the original document:
- the institution which issued the original document (e.g. copy of Bachelor’s degree certificate certified by the
university)
- an authority who is authorized to certify copies (e.g. notary public)
- an authority who is authorized to certify copies with the Apostille of the Hague Convention
A certification or the Apostille only confirms that the signature, seal and/or stamp on the original document are
genuine and that the certified copy is true to the original. It does not include a statement regarding the
authenticity or significance of the original document.
Certified Translations
If the original document is written in a language other than German, English or French, a certified translation in
German, English or French must be submitted along with a certified copy of the original foreign language
document.
A translation has been certified if one of the following agencies has performed the translation and
confirmed it with a stamp and signature:
- the institution which issued the original document (e.g. translation of Transcript of Records provided by the
university)
- a sworn translating expert
The translation must be based on a certified copy of the original foreign language document which has to be
submitted along with the translation. Translations with more than one page must be attached in a way that makes
manipulation easily detectable (e.g. a stamp across several pages, pages glued together, stitched or bound
together with thread or seal).
The Swiss Association of Translators, Interpreters and Terminologists provides a database with sworn translating
experts which can help you to find a suitable translator (www.astti.ch).
Please note: The University of Zurich reserves the right to verify the authenticity of all documents at the issuing
institution or other competent authority. The university also reserves the right to reject faulty translations or to
verify a translation’s accuracy through competent authorities at the University of Zurich.
