    BFH-AHB launches minor for a specialisation in studies

    In future, students at BFH-AHB will be able to deepen and broaden their studies in architecture, wood technology or civil engineering with an interdisciplinary minor. The minors “Circular and Sustainable Construction” and “Integral Digital Construction” are to be understood as minor subjects or small study programmes that provide students with an additional qualification. By choosing the minor, students set an individual thematic focus for their personal, specialised profile.

    Interdisciplinary, forward-looking, networked
    A minor not only increases the individualisation of studies, but also the interdisciplinarity. In the minor, students from the disciplines of architecture, wood technology and civil engineering deal with a current topic in depth across subject boundaries. In exchange with partners from business, research and politics, they look at it from different perspectives. Together, the students from the three disciplines gain new insights and develop solutions for complex future challenges. Last but not least, they gain important experience in interdisciplinary cooperation.

    With the minor, the BFH-AHB prepares students for the working world of tomorrow, because circular and sustainable construction as well as integral digital construction are becoming increasingly important. The collaboration of architects, wood engineers and civil engineers plays a central role here: together they can drive the digital transformation of construction and lead circular, sustainable building projects to success. Students deal with these future topics throughout their studies. In the minor, they delve into them and use the potential of collaboration to responsibly shape the world of construction.

  • ZHAW offers four new courses

    ZHAW offers four new courses

    At the Zurich University of Applied Sciences ( ZHAW ), 4,500 new students are starting their academic training in the winter semester. In the previous year there were 4,700. As of September 19, a total of 14,100 people will be studying at the three ZHAW locations in Winterthur, Wädenswil and Zurich. That's 600 fewer than at the beginning of last year.

    The ZHAW Department of Life Sciences and Facility Management recorded the largest increase with an increase of 13 percent. According to a press release , the two new bachelor’s courses in biomedical laboratory diagnostics and applied digital life sciences as well as the master of science in real estate and facility management are primarily responsible for this.

    The two ZHAW departments of Health and Life Sciences and Facility Management work together on the Biomedical Laboratory Diagnostics course. According to the ZHAW, the course meets the growing social and technical requirements for diagnostics and health care.

    The Applied Digital Life Sciences course forms the interface between data science and life sciences. The Applied Law course is also new. It provides a general basic legal education. Real Estate & Facility Management is the first master's degree in Switzerland to combine real estate and facility management with sustainability and digitization.
