Comparing the Top Universities in Switzerland: ETH Zurich or EPFL?
瑞士頂尖大學(xué)：蘇黎世聯(lián)邦理工學(xué)院 VS 洛桑聯(lián)邦理工學(xué)院
ETH Zurich and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) are not just the two top universities in Switzerland – they’re also the top two universities in the world, outside of the US and UK.
Together comprising the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology, these sister institutions have never been stronger. The QS World University Rankings® 2014/15 saw both maintain their places within the global top 20, with ETH Zurich retaining 12th place and EPFL climbing two spots to 17= (joint with the UK’s University of Edinburgh). Since 2008, they’ve climbed from 24th and 50= respectively.
Within the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology Domain – which has a shared strategic management board and also includes several research institutes – both ETH Zurich and EPFL focus on research and teaching in the fields of engineering, natural sciences and related fields, offering degree courses from undergraduate through to PhD level.
So, how do these two top universities in Switzerland compare, and how can you decide which is the best choice for you? Here’s an at-a-glance comparison, followed by a more in-depth look at the similarities and differences.

蘇黎世聯(lián)邦理工學(xué)院和洛桑聯(lián)邦理工學(xué)院不僅僅是瑞士的兩所頂尖大學(xué) — — 除美國(guó)和英國(guó)以外，他們也是世界前二的大學(xué)。
一起組成瑞士聯(lián)邦技術(shù)研究所，這些妹妹機(jī)構(gòu)前所未有的強(qiáng)大。2014年/15 QS 世界大學(xué)排名 ® 兩所學(xué)校均維持在全球前20位，蘇黎世聯(lián)邦理工學(xué)院保持第 12 位，洛桑聯(lián)邦理工學(xué)院上升了兩個(gè)名次到17位 = (與英國(guó)愛(ài)丁堡大學(xué)并列)。2008 年以來(lái)，他們分別從24位和50位一直上升。
在技術(shù)領(lǐng)域 — — 有一個(gè)共享的戰(zhàn)略管理委員會(huì)和幾個(gè)研究機(jī)構(gòu) — — 蘇黎世聯(lián)邦理工學(xué)院和洛桑聯(lián)邦理工學(xué)院專(zhuān)注于工程、 自然科學(xué)及其相關(guān)的領(lǐng)域的研究和教學(xué)，提供從本科到博士學(xué)位的課程。
所以，如何比較這兩所瑞士頂尖大學(xué)，你又如何決定對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)哪一個(gè)是最好的選擇呢?下面是出國(guó)留學(xué)網(wǎng)www.liuxue86.com為大家整理的蘇黎世聯(lián)邦理工學(xué)院和洛桑聯(lián)邦理工學(xué)院比較，供大家參考。
