The Bachelor's programme in Human Medicine at ETH Zurich
The special programme "Human Medicine" was launched in 2017. Its goal is to increase the number of graduates in medicine from 865 in 2014 to 1350 in 2025. As a direct response to this special programme, ETH Zurich has been offering a course of study to obtain a Bachelor's degree in Human Medicine since last autumn. Entry into the Master's programme at a partner university is possible for the first time in autumn 2020.
"We have the privilege of building on a greenfield site"
Last autumn, 100 students began the Bachelor's programme in Human Medicine newly offered by ETH Zurich. The aim of the course is to combine medical topics with technical and scientific aspects and to prepare the future doctors for the rapidly changing challenges in this field. But topics such as empathy and communication are not neglected either. Thanks to an innovative concept and state-of-the-art learning methods, this balancing act should succeed.
