Inter Focus Courses - “The Labs”
||Department of Computer Science
Labs are difficult and mean a lot of work during the
semester
Failed labs are the main reason for drop-outs
Strong recommendation: Pass at least one lab within
one year. Remark: This point has been updated and differs from what has
been communicated in September 2017.
Advice: Take one lab each semester (and plan in enough
time)
Rule: You need to have passed two labs before getting a
working permit

Step 2 - Discussion
Discuss the Learning Agreement with your chosen tutor.
||Department of Computer Science
After the approval of your tutor submit your Learning
Agreement via www.mystudies.ethz.ch.
The Learning Agreement has to be submitted within four
weeks after the first semester has started.

Step 4 - Studying
||Department of Computer Science
Admission to and registration of the Master Thesis:
All additional requirements completed
Inter Focus Courses (12 credits) “The Labs” completed
Focus Courses (26 credits) completed
18.09.2017Dr. Hermann Lehner - Coordinator of Studies 18
Step 5 - Completion
||Department of Computer Science
The overall study duration including the Master’s thesis
may not exceed six semesters.
The completion of an internship during the Master’s
studies extends the maximal study duration by at most
one additional semester.
