Mobility

From August 1, 2024, all recognizable credits from non-Swiss universities will be recognized and credited with "passed". Students who submit a request for recognition (Anerkennungsgesuch) between August 1, 2024 and October 31, 2024 can choose whether the modules to be recognized should be recognized with a grade or with "passed". The decisive factor is the time of receipt of the request for recognition. Detailed information can be found onRecognition and Transfer of Credit.

You are planning to spend one or two semesters abroad, to complete individual modules (guest studies) or a Summer/Winter School at another Swiss or foreign university and would like to clarify which coursework can be recognized for your studies at the Faculty of Law of the University of Zurich (RWF UZH) or would like to have this coursework recognized.

Coursework completed abroad may be recognized for the Bachelor of Law UZH to the extent of a maximum of 90 ECTS credits if :

• it is equivalent to a module of the Bachelor of Law UZH, or
• can be thematically assigned to the compulsory module "International Law/European Law" or a core elective area (Fundamentals, OR/ZGB), or
•  if the requirements for recognition as a case study in private law or a case study in public law/criminal law are met, or
•  it can be integrated as a law or non-subject-related elective module.

Coursework completed within an exchange at another Swiss law faculty in the same language area may not be recognized as compulsory modules in the Bachelor of Law UZH.

Term papers or Bachelor's theses completed at another university are not recognized.

The recognition of modules from an exchange within Switzerland is based on recognition tables for the corresponding academic year, which are usually published in August.
