Taster Day
On a taster day, you can attend lectures with ETH students and gain insights into the life of a computer science student. Additionally, you will have lunch and visit the campus with an accompanying student, giving you enough time to ask all your questions.
Taster days are reduced in scope from May 30 until mid-October. That period falls during the semester break—there are no lectures, and many students are away. We therefore recommend booking your taster day outside those dates. If you still want to participate in a taster day during the break, you will experience eating lunch with your mentors and a tour around the campus.
