The Swiss engineering master's degree


Each module contains 3 ECTS. You choose a total of 10 modules/30 ECTS in the following module categories: 

  • 12-15 ECTS in technical scientific modules (TSM)
    TSM modules teach profile-specific specialist skills and supplement the decentralised specialisation modules.
  • 9-12 ECTS in fundamental theoretical principles modules (FTP)
    FTP modules deal with theoretical fundamentals such as higher mathematics, physics, information theory, chemistry, etc. They will teach more detailed, abstract scientific knowledge and help you to bridge the gap between abstraction and application that is so important for innovation.
  • 6-9 ECTS in context modules (CM)
    CM modules will impart additional skills in areas such as technology management, business administration, communication, project management, patent law, contract law, etc.

Bayesian Machine Learning (TSM_BayMachLe, 2024-2025)

Bayesian statistics provides an alternative viewpoint to the classical ‘frequentist’ statistics by using a different, more subjective interpretation of probability. This brings various advantages in solving typical industry problems, such as the inclusion of prior knowledge, more intuitive hypothesis tests or modeling uncertainty given small amounts of data. With increasing computational power, the popularity of…
