Faculty of Law

Recognition and Transfer of Credit

Coursework completed at other universities or faculties or the School for Transdisciplinary Studies at UZH or in the context of legal internships may be recognized for the studies at the Faculty of Law of the University of Zurich (RWF UZH) . Only coursework which counts towards a degree of the Faculty of Law of the University of Zurich (RWF UZH) may be recognized.

In principle, only coursework that is not more than ten years old (cf. § 44 para. 1 Program Regulation of RWF UZH, StudO RWF) can be considered for transfer of credit.

Coursework completed at another university may be transferred to the Bachelor's degree to the extent of a maximum of 90 ECTS credits (§ 50 para. 1 Framework Ordinance, RVO RWF) resp. to the extent of a maximum of 45 ECTS credits to the Master's degree (§ 51 para. 1 RVO RWF).

Coursework which is equivalent to a module already successfully completed at RWF UZH cannot be recognized (section 4 para. 4 Guidelines Recognition, RLA).

If a law module counted towards the degree at another faculty, it can only be transferred to the degree at RWF UZH if it is equivalent to a compulsory module at RWF UZH. For elective and core elective modules, a transfer of credit is not possible.

Term papers, Bachelor’s or Master’s theses completed at another university are not recognized.

For the Master of Law UZH International and Comparative Law (MLaw UZH ICL), only coursework and internships in English can be recognized.
