Specialization Year (Regulation 2004)

In the 5th and 6th semester the students must select an area of specialisation from a choice of four in which we teach the broad basics specific to that area. At this stage of their education we also offer non-technical courses to develop skills relevant to the profession in its social and business environment.

At the end of the first six semesters students will have developed a solid scientific methodical thinking, accompanied by social and business skills in a wider sense.

They will have acquired some basic knowledge in design, modelling and systems, and they will have been exposed to other disciplines such as mechanical engineering, biology, medicine, physics and computer science. They are prepared to continue their in-depth studies at the master level at the ETH Zurich or at another University in Switzerland or abroad.
