Graduates holding a very good Bachelor's degree (grade A or B) in a technical field of study at a Swiss University of Applied Sciences are accepted for the admission procedure for the Master's programme. The study programme administration can admit applicants without an established grade "sur dossier" (record of achievement) – an excellent completion of the basic study programme is expected as well.
Applicants from abroad must provide a very good Bachelor's degree (that is comparable to grades A or B in Switzerland) from a recognised university in a technical field of study. In addition, two letters of recommendation from university lecturers and good English language skills at level C1 are expected.
The technical and personal suitability of applicants for an activity at the institute or centre is assessed during an admission interview with the relevant institute/centre.
