Modules/Submodules

– Most Bachelor modules are two-semester courses and divided into several submodules– If a mobility examination is offered for a submodule, exchange students have the possibility to take the

examination for this submodule only, instead of the whole module.– If you like to take the regular examination, please note that all parts of the module will be tested.

Students who are only one semester at the UZH need to learn the subject material of some submodulesby themselves in this case.

– We only advise students who spend a year at the UZH to take the regular examination for two-semester courses.
