GUIDELINES FOR THE MASTER'S PROGRAM
The Master curriculum is divided into four semesters of 17 weeks
comprising 30 ECTS credits each. Courses that may be attended by
students from the different schools at the same time will be delivered in
week 6 and in week 12 of each semester. The school at which the
student is enrolled is responsible for the recognition of the ECTS-credits
of shared modules.

Each term comprises 6 modules of 5 ECTS credits each.
According to Swiss and European standards, one ECTS credit is awarded
for about 30 students’ working hours (lessons and workshops, coached
activities and individual study).

Modules focus on three main areas: workshop practice, theory modules and applied research.

A minimum of 40 ECTS-credits is given for theory modules and a minimum of 40 ECTS-credits for workshop practice modules.

The final Master’s thesis is awarded 30 ECTS credits.
