STRUCTURE OF FORMAL EDUCATION - SWITZERLAND
Psychology is offered at * universities
Entry requirements
Degree structure. This can be divided in two main parts,
that is university education and postgraduate education. Each
of them lasts at least 4 years. The university education
consists of a) generic education and b) specialist education,
and the postgraduate education is regulated by the FSP.
Generic specialisation and training
University education is divided into two parts, the first
two years (Grundstudium) are usually a generic education, the
following two years up to the lic. phil. degree are a
specialist education. Postgraduate education is again
specialist education. But it is not usually restricted to the
special discipline one has finished in university education.
That means: after a university degree the game starts again and
it is possible to get an education in a special field, which is
different from that in the university study.
Duration of different parts
As indicated above, university education lasts 4 years, as
does postgraduate education. This time span is the minimal
requirement. In fact one has to plan about 5-6 years for each
of them.
ECTS
Examinations. There is one examination after the university
education, a second one after the postgraduate education. The
first examination is regulated by each university separately,
the postgraduate education is also regulated in each curricula
separately. Nevertheless the common frame work of FSP gives
some minor common requirements. They are listed in reference 3,
point 9 (Evaluation des individuellen Weiterbildungserfolgs).
In fact it is left to the organiser. There it is handled quite
different. (This is shown in the references 5 to 12.)
