Registration
- Graduate Campus courses are aimed solely at doctoral and postdoctoral researchers and senior teaching and research assistants at the University of Zurich.
- The status as a PhD candidate and/or postdoctoral researcher and/or senior teaching and research assistant at UZH will be verified.
- The registration is binding and it is necessary to participate in the entire course. A confirmation of participation can only be given to those who participate in all course sessions.
- If there is an insufficient number of participants, Graduate Campus reserves the right to cancel or postpone a course.
Cancellation
- Before the first day of a course: If an excuse is submitted without being prompted by email (kurse@grc.uzh.ch), Graduate Campus will cancel your booking.
- An unexcused absence (so-called "no-show") leads to a lost course place and takes the place of another participant and is therefore prohibited.
- In either case, a verbal and/or written cancellation sent only to the instructor is not sufficient.
Assessment (PhD)
- Each course has an assessment requirement that must be fulfilled (e.g. presentation or written assignment), regardless of whether an ECTS credit is needed. Complete participation is also a part of this assessment.
ECTS credits (PhD)
- An ECTS credit can only be be awarded upon successful course completion.
- Concerning the number and allocation of ECTS credits, the following rules apply:
- A course consists of a workload of 1 ECTS credits, i.e. 30 hours, including independent study and course participation.
- Each course has an assessment requirement which must be fulfilled.
- Attendance of all course sessions (complete participation).
- The individual faculties decide whether or not academic achievements can be considered a curricular element of your doctoral studies. Course participants are not automatically entitled to have a completed course recognized or considered as a part of their doctoral studies. For this reason, doctoral candidates are strongly encouraged to determine whether or not a course is recognized as a part of their doctoral studies before registering for a university-wide course. Ideally, the PhD candidate should discuss whether the recognition of courses with the respective supervisor before booking a course.
- Academic achievements are recognized as such if the ECTS credits earned appear on the transcript of records.
Courses in cooperation with the School for Transdisciplinary Studies
