Courses

General

You can devise your individual study plan from these lectures as you see fit. The Faculty of Law UZH does not define any conditions in this regard, there are

  • no minimum number of ECTS credits and
  • no compulsory modules.

We recommend completing a minimum of 12 ECTS credits per semester. Mobility students may attend no more than one seminar per semester.

Mobility students are, however, subject to the regulations and obligations of their home universities. It is therefore of the utmost importance that students arrange their study plan with their home faculty.

As a mobility student, you are able to attend modules from various study semesters or levels. Collisions may occur with regard to lectures, examinations, etc

Attention: You are responsible yourself for arranging a course and examination schedule that is free of collisions!

If you want to book modules or register for examinations offered by other faculties at the University of Zurich, please contact the departemental coordinator of the respective faculty/departement.
