Seminar weeks

Entering the seminar week data

As a complement to the regular coursework, week-long excursions are offered once each semester by an ad hoc group of instructors. By studying carefully circumscribed issues, the students discipline specific knowledge is expanded. At the same time, their understanding of the connections between the areas of knowledge and human life, which contribute to the production and effect of architecture is deepened.

When entering the seminar week data into the system, the organizing chairs have to confirm that they are aware of the security and traveling situation at their place of destination and that the Federal Authorities of the Swiss Confederation (EDA) has not issued any advice against travelling to the destination for security reasons.

Seminar weeks can be listed from week 15 (for the fall semester) and from week 46 (for the spring Semester). Early listing of the seminar week (and of the design programmes) is highly appreciated, as the students' internal enrolments can start around end of August/beginning of September (for autumn semester) and end of January/beginning of February (for spring semester).

The seminar weeks take place in week 12 (spring semester) and 43 (autumn semester).
