Table of contents
Start of studies
The programme generally starts in the autumn semester. As the modules build on each other, an admission to start in spring is only approved in exceptional cases.
Study information days in the first week of September
Enrolment & Admission
You may apply for admission at UZH online through the website of the Admission Office of the University of Zurich:
Online Application and Admission
After successful admission, enrolment through the Student Portal is necessary to study at UZH. All students must be enrolled for as long as they are claiming benefits from the University. These include, in particular, attending courses, receiving advice and support, using libraries and collections, using the Centre for IT Services, taking examinations and validating their diploma certificate.
Pre-course in mathematics
A mathematics pre-course is offered to new students each year before the start of the semester in September. Detailed information is available from the Department of Mathematics.
Regulations
The study programme at the Institute of Physics is regulated by the following documents:
- The Framwork Regulation(Rahmenverordnung) contains general provisions for all Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes at MNF.
- The Study Regulations (Studienordnung) contain detailed information on the content of the individual courses of study at MNF. This applies, for example, to modules, examinations and ECTS credits.
- The Study Guide regulates the Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes in detail.
Credit Points (ECTS)
All study achievemts are assessed according to the European Credit Transfer System ECTS.
The student workload comprises the total amount of work, i.e. attending and following up lectures and seminars, solving exercises, preparing and taking examinations, etc. The ECTS credit points are awarded to students for their work.
One credit point (ECTS) corresponds to a workload of about 30 hours. A full-time academic year with 60 ECTS credits thus comprises 1500-1800 hours. We recommend that regular students work towards 30 ECTS points per semester.
