Programme structure

The study programme comprises six semesters, each including 14 weeks of classroom teaching. The teaching is primarily conducted as lectures, group teaching, exercises and laboratory training. The study programme is divided into modules which form a complete learning unit of one semester in length. What is on offer includes required and elective modules. A grade is assigned for every module. Individual modules are combined into module groups which form the basis for the granting of ECTS credits. The first year of study is an assessment level. Passing this assessment is the requirement for admission into the main study programme.

In the project work and Bachelor thesis, you deal independently with current topics and problems, usually in close collaboration with a company. Graduates are awarded the protected and internationally recognised title of Bachelor of Science ZFH in Materials and Process Engineering. The Bachelor programme comprises a total of 180 credits*. 

* ECTS = European Credit Transfer System: uniform European grading system of study performance which is part of the Bologna reforms. Around 30 hours of student work corresponds to one credit.
