The General Part of the Contract Law (OR) and Liability Law (taught in German) are being moved from the assessment level to the advanced level, whereas Roman Civil Law (taught in German) is being moved from the advanced level to the assessment level. The pressure is being taken off the Bachelor’s degree advanced level as part of the Study Reform 2021. This will create more room for civil law modules, in particular.
At the assessment level, students demonstrate that they have what it takes to study law. The assessment level comprises a total of 60 ECTS credits.
Students must complete the following individual modules*:

Assessment Level:
The compulsory modules can be repeated once.
The case study core elective modules can each be repeated twice. They can be substituted with other modules from the corresponding module group.
Advanced Level:
The compulsory modules can be repeated twice.
The maximum number of failed attempts for the Common Subjects and Swiss Code of Obligations/ Swiss Civil Code core elective modules is two each.
The case study core elective modules can each be repeated twice. They can be substituted with other modules from the corresponding module group.
The elective modules offered by the Faculty of Law can each be repeated twice and can be substituted. The the other modules that can be chosen instead of the elective modules offered by the Faculty of Law are governed by the provisions of the relevant faculty or department.
Assessment Level – Advanced Level
In order to register for modules in the advanced level, students must first have completed all but one of the assessment level modules. Before the last module of the assessment level has been completed, advanced level modules of up to 18 ECTS credits can be booked.
Bachelor’s Level – Master’s Level
Bachelor’s students who have obtained at least 150 ECTS credits at the Faculty of Law (including transferred credits from law modules completed at other universities) can take as many Master’s modules in advance as they want. Work on the Master’s thesis may only begin in the Master’s degree program.
Who is Affected?
The transitional regulations apply to students who started the UZH Bachelor of Law program before the Fall Semester 2021, but who have not completed it or been permanently excluded. Starting in the Fall Semester 2021, students will be transferred to the Bachelor’s degree program based on the new regulations. The previous modules will then no longer be offered if they are not continued in the new degree program.
What Needs to Be Kept in Mind?
Bachelor’s degree modules that were completed successfully before the changeover will be credited toward the revised Bachelor’s degree program on the basis of the number of ECTS credits acquired in accordance with the provisions of the old program regulations. Compulsory and core elective modules must be completed in accordance with the new program regulations. At least 180 ECTS credits are required for the Bachelor’s degree. Depending on which modules have already been completed, completing the new compulsory modules may make it necessary to earn more than 180 ECTS credits. If the required modules have been completed, but 180 ECTS credits have not yet been earned, the missing ECTS credits must be obtained through (core) elective modules. A transition table can be found on this website to help you plan your further studies.
Failed attempts taken up to and including Spring Semester 2021 will not be taken into account, provided that they have not already led to the student’s exclusion from the study program.

Civil Law I and II (taught in German) in accordance with the old regulations are being restructured and will consist of three modules under the new regulations. To ensure that the required competencies can be obtained without repeating material, an examination is offered in addition to the Swiss Code of Obligations Special Section course (otherwise included in the “new” Private Law II module).
*Modules listed in German are taught exclusively in German.
