Establishing an individual study plan (Studienkonzept) is required for the Double Degree Program. This study plan serves as a guideline for the students and needs to be confirmed by the program advisors, in order to guarantee that the mandatory requirements are met. The study plan specifies the Technical Application Fields (TAF) selected by the student during the application. It also specifies the modules that the student has to pass in order to obtain the degree. Only the modules listed in the Module Catalog can be registered for the examination. The program provides standard study plans for each of the TAFs with a workload of at least 20 ECTS for each module along with which at least 30 ECTS from USI must be attained. To ensure a well-rounded education, the study advisors will recommend modules with the specialization of the given TAF.
