Second Bachelor’s programme launched

In 2021, SFUVET launched the Bachelor of Science in VET programme for the second time since 2019. This programme is intended for those who want to professionally manage challenging and exploratory projects that establish bridges between vocational education and training and subsequent levels of training within the education system. The programme is also intended for professionals who wish to provide effective guidance to learners and workplace trainers. A total of 16 participants began their studies in August.

More distinct profile for Bachelor’s programme

The syllabus was adjusted in response to a student survey conducted at the end of the first Bachelor’s programme as well as on the basis of feedback from the programme director. The various measures included: greater importance given to the issue of digital professionalism; a more even distribution of the study load over the entire duration of the programme; and greater differentiation of syllabus content between the Bachelor’s and Master’s in VET programme. The Bachelor of Science in VET programme lasts a total of eight semesters and is offered every two years.

Master of Science in VET now accredited

SFUVET has been offering the six-semester Master of Science in VET programme every two years since autumn 2007. In the spring of 2021, this programme was fully accredited by the German accreditation agency Acquin for a period of six more years. The programme therefore meets the highest international standards. Both of SFUVET’s degree programmes – the Bachelor’s and the Master’s – share the same quality assurance concept that takes into account Swiss and European higher education standards.
