Student Administration

The Head of Student Administration is responsible for overall management of the division, i.e. the Registrar’s Office and the Admissions Office. That covers primarily personnel and management matters. She works closely with the Prorector for Study Programmes, especially on behalf of the Rector in connection with making decisions in exceptional cases on requests from students.

The Registrar's Office is available to students during their studies as an office for information and liaising with regard to study-related issues.

In particular, it is responsible for the admission of applicants with a recognised Swiss matriculation certificate to the first semester of the Bachelor programmes, for semester enrolments, granting leaves of absence, changes of degree programme, study confirma­tions, and many further administrative matters.

The Admission Office advises and informs regarding application procedures and admis­sion requirements for all degree programmes. It works out the requirements for admission to advanced semesters (Bachelor, Master) and the recognition of external study achievement in cooperation with the responsible departmental offices.

For those who have completed their diploma or Master's degree at another university, the office provides information regarding the application procedure and admission require­ments to teacher training programmes.
