Without a high school diploma, Röntgen could only attend university in the Netherlands as a visitor. In 1865, he tried to attend [[Utrecht University]] without having the necessary credentials required for a regular student. Upon hearing that he could enter the [[Federal Polytechnic Institute]] in [[Zürich]] (today known as the [[ETH Zurich]]), he passed the entrance examination and began his studies there as a student of [[mechanical engineering]].<ref name="Washington" /> In 1869, he graduated with a [[Doctor of Philosophy|PhD]] from the [[University of Zurich]]; once there, he became a favourite student of Professor [[August Kundt]], whom he followed to the newly founded German [[University of Strasbourg|''Kaiser-Wilhelms-Universität'']] in [[Strasbourg]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Trevert|first=Edward|title=Something About X-Rays for Everybody|url=https://archive.org/details/somethingaboutx00trevgoog|publisher=Medical Physics Publishing Corporation|location=Madison, Wisconsin |page = [https://archive.org/details/somethingaboutx00trevgoog/page/n10 4]|year=1988|isbn=0-944838-05-7}}</ref>
