New modular curriculum for chemistry and biological chemistry diploma programs at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences Winterthur

Starting with the fall semester 2003, the Zurich University of Applied Science Winterthur (ZHW) will switch to fully modularized curricula in all its diploma programs, including chemistry and biological chemistry. For students this will mean that they will be graded by ECTS-Credit Points (ECTS = European Credit and Transfer System) and that they can collect some of the credits in other European universities and colleges. Individualized curricula become possible with the option to acquire credit points in the fifteen diploma programs of ZHW, ranging from business administration to computer science or mechatronics.
