accessible study subjects, due to the size and the diversity
of the ETH. This allows the participants a pronounced indi-

to the more formalised and structured MBA studies on the

”The MAS MTEC allowed me to literally switch from a pure engineering background to a more
business minded standpoint with much broader perspectives. I truly appreciated the international
aspect of the programme. With students of various cultures coming from all continents, I was
immersed in a true international environment. Additionally, it was a great opportunity for me to
experience the education system of one of the best universities in Europe.”
