ZHAW is a public university of applied sciences, so tuition is heavily subsidised: about CHF 720 per semester for Swiss-domiciled students — roughly CHF 2,160 over the three-semester programme — with a CHF 500 per-semester surcharge for students domiciled abroad (about CHF 3,660 total). A small registration fee applies. Even at the international rate this is inexpensive by global standards; Swiss living costs are the larger expense.
