ECTS Points Count toward Studies

The upper secondary school students may enroll in one module per semester and obtain the associated certificate of performance. The ECTS points earned in a module during a semester can, in accordance with the applicable regulations, be taken into account if students go on to study at UZH. No academic degree will be granted to upper secondary school students taking part in the program.

Registration by the School

School students may only register for the program through their school. UZH will not accept direct applications from school students or parents. A limited number of places are available. There is no entitlement to admission.
