Major-Minor Programme
With the major, students choose their specialisation. For this purpose, one or two minors are chosen, which deepen the competences from the major or expand them across disciplines. The Individual Area of Study (ISB) can also be chosen for some majors. This offers interdisciplinary courses that can be taken depending on admission requirements and space restrictions.
Digital tools for studying
For your studies at ZHdK you will need a variety of digital tools - from email and calendar to online registration for your courses. Here you will find an overview of the most important links and instructions.
