Bachelor's & Master's Degree

Please make sure that you are correctly enrolled in the semester in which you wish to obtain your degree, as you can only be issued a degree for the major and minor study programs for which you are actually enrolled. If you no longer wish to complete a minor, you may no longer be enrolled for it in the semester of graduation. Correcting your enrolment at the time of graduation usually results in an extension of your study period by one semester.

Bachelor's degree

The “Study progress & graduation” app is available in the student portal, which allows you to track your study progress and edit your graduation proposal. As soon as you have been credited with all the credits required for graduation in accordance with the regulations, you must apply for graduation via the “Study progress & graduation” app.

Master's Degree

Master's thesis registration: At the beginning of the Master's thesis, please register it in StudentAdmin.

Master's thesis submission: The official submission of the Master's thesis takes place after confirmation by the supervisor by uploading it to StudentAdmin.

Master's examination: After completing your Master's thesis, please arrange a date for the Master's presentation and the Master's examination with your thesis supervisor. To announce your presentation, please submit a short abstract (approx. 200 words) to the responsible assistant. A second examiner must also be chosen for the Master's examination; this must be a lecturer at the Institute and must not have been involved in the Master's thesis.

Once you have passed your Master's thesis and Master's examination, enter the necessary details in the StudentAdmin Tool and submit the signed grade sheet (PDF, 538 KB) and a cover sheet for your thesis to the Student Coordination Office.

Application for graduation: Once you have passed the Master's examination and all other requirements for the Master's degree have been met in accordance with the study regulations, you must apply for your degree in the “Study progress & degree” app.

Deadlines and further information on the graduation process

The following application deadlines apply to degree applications:

Degrees in the fall semester: October 15 to March 14
Spring semester degrees: March 15 to October 14

If you are unable to meet these deadlines, you must be enrolled for the following semester. Otherwise we will technically not be able to complete the degrees. These are university deadlines and the faculty is not in a position to approve exceptions.

Students who wish to leave UZH after graduation can de-register, provided they have completed all the coursework required for graduation. If any credits are still missing, enrollment must be maintained.
