The following tuittion fees apply to all students per semester:
| General tuition fees | CHF 720.00 |
| ASVZ (Akademischer Sportverband Zürich) | CHF 30.00 |
| Student association fees Verso | CHF 32.00 |
| Campus Card | Free first issue |
Even if they take up residence in Canton Zurich, international students have no legal domicile in Switzerland and are therefore required to pay additional tuition fees of CHF 500.00 each semester. Tuition fee details are available at www.zhdk.ch/studiengebuehren (“Übersicht Studiengebühren an der ZHdK”).
In cases of hardship, tuition fees and other fees may be partly or fully waived. Students should contact the responsible canton or their home country or private foundations about grants and scholarships prior to applying for a fee waiver. Waivers are granted only from the 2nd semester. Applications may be submitted twice a year. Deadlines: 15 June and 15 November. Details are available at www.zhdk.ch/studiengebuehren.
