Studies at a glance
Are you interested in the use of light-based applications, robotics and automation? Then the Master of Science Engineering at the UAS Grisons is the right program for you. We offer the following two specializations:
The Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) is an educational program developed jointly by the Swiss universities of applied sciences, in which you complete your studies at the university of your choice. It is aimed at highly motivated Bachelor graduates with a very good degree. A degree opens the door to a top professional position or a job in research and development. The language of instruction for the theory modules held in Zurich is English. The teaching modules (TSM, FTP and CM) are held centrally in Zurich.

Study plan
The MSE program consists of two parts. One part (30 ECTS) consists of theory and context modules and is taught centrally in Zurich. The second part (60 ECTS) deals with the specialist specialization and is carried out at the FH Graubünden in Chur.
Theory and context modules
The theory and context modules comprise 30 ECTS. They are held in Zurich. Each profile direction has a list of recommended modules. However, the choice of modules is largely up to you and is determined individually in consultation with your academic advisor.
The modules are divided into 3 module types, of which at least the ECTS listed below must be included proportionately in the theory:
- Technical-scientific modules (TSM), 12-15 ECTS
- Advanced theoretical foundations (FTP), 9-12 ECTS
- Context modules (CM), 6-9 ECTS
Subject specialization
The specialization comprises 60 of the 90 ECTS credits and therefore makes up the main part of your studies. It consists of two practice-oriented projects (2 x 15 ECTS) and a Master's thesis (30 ECTS). The work can be carried out individually as part of research projects at the UAS Grisons or with industry and research partners. The exact topics are determined in consultation with your academic advisor.
Admission requirements
For admission, you need a Bachelor's degree or a comparable degree in engineering. The achievements of the entire Bachelor's degree must correspond to an ECTS grade A or B. Admission "sur dossier" is possible for Grade C. Grade D is not accepted.
If you have any questions about the admission requirements, please contact us. We will be happy to help you.
The overall grades of the Bachelor's degrees at the FHGR correspond to the following ECTS grades:
6.0 = A
5.5 = B
5.0 = C
4.5 = D
A -> admitted
B -> approved
C -> sur dossier
D -> not admitted
Recommended Bachelor's degrees:
- BSc in Optoelectronics (Photonics)
- BSc in Systems Engineering
- BSc in Microtechnology
- BSc in Electrical Engineering
- BSc in Mechanical Engineering
- BSc in Medical Engineering
- BSc in Data Science
- BSc in Materials and Process Engineering
- BSc in Engineering
Further degrees "sur Dossier" possible.
Exceptional cases
If the general as well as the subject-specific average corresponds to an ECTS grade C, admission "sur dossier" is possible in justified cases. In the event that performance cannot be assessed on the basis of certificates, an admission interview will be conducted with the applicant. Applicants from abroad must provide proof of German language skills at a conversational level.

Project work and Master's thesis: English/German
ECTS points
European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS)
The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is an instrument for creating a European educational area in which students and teachers can move freely. ECTS points are awarded for the workload required to achieve the expected learning outcomes of a course. ECTS points form the basis for the recognition of academic achievements and diplomas between universities.
ECTS points
One ECTS point corresponds to an average student workload of 30 hours. In addition to attending courses, the student workload also includes time spent preparing for and following up on courses, examinations and self-study. In a full-time course, 60 ECTS credits are earned per year, which corresponds to a workload of 1800 hours.
At the UAS Grisons, the Bachelor's degree program comprises 180 ECTS credits, a consecutive Master's degree program 90 ECTS credits.
Study and examination regulations
The study and examination regulations regulate the study program, examination and doctoral modalities.
Registration and advice
Application form
If you would like to register for the program, please send the completed registration form and the required documents to the administration of the UAS Grisons.
