MODULE OFFER
Swiss degree programs have a modular structure. At the SML, a growing number of modules are taught in English as part of the school’s regular Bachelor’s and Master’s programs. These modules are ideal for exchange students, who can study alongside their Swiss peers. Exchange students whose language skills meet the requirements are welcome to choose modules offered in either German or English or a combination of both. You can create your individual class schedule from the full range of modules on offer. Final module registration takes place during Orientation Week with full support from the International Office.
WORKLOAD
The workload of a full-time student at the SML equals 30 ECTS credits per semester, with one credit requiring 25 – 30 hours of study. The number of credits an incoming student must acquire is determined by his or her home university. However, the SML expects all incoming students to earn between 15 (min.) and 45 (max.) ECTS credits during their exchange semester.
GRADING SCALE
Like most Swiss universities, the SML uses a grading scale ranging from 1.0 to 6.0. The minimum pass grade is 4.0, and the maximum achievable grade is 6.0. To help your home university transfer your credits, an additional ECTS grade between A and F is also awarded.
