Course Description

Researching courses in English on an Swiss university homepage can sometimes be difficult and confusing. You can use the ISEP Guide to Course Selection to find information about navigating a university website, finding courses in both English and German and some translations of common words and major fields of study. 

Fields of study which can be pursued without or with little knowledge of German include law, political science, English language and literature, business administration, economics, banking and finance, biology, biochemistry, chemistry, earth sciences, geography, mathematics and physics.

Other Academic Conditions

For students with high German proficiency, there is generally no restriction on the choice of the academic field as long as the academic prerequisites are met. Students without sufficient German skills have to check which courses are offered in English. About two-thirds of courses and ECTS credits must be taken in the faculty where the ISEP participant would like to be enrolled. Programs in human medicine and veterinary medicine are closed to ISEP participants.
