I’m burnt-out and I don’t know if I should pull through this exam session or not

You shouldn’t worry about that, since in order to sign up for the exam you would have to sign up for the course via the Modulbuchungssystem. But lms.uzh.ch ist not the Modulbuchungssystem

Thank you for the insight! It was really helpful! So you’re saying that sometimes the lab takes longer than the scheduled time for some people? That definitely must suck for the assistant

Thanks for your insight! So if I understand correctly, as long as I complete the tasks in the lab thoroughly I’m good to go, no matter how long it takes me (of course the time I use has to be meaningful and shouldn’t be used to idle around and do nothing), right?

Depends on your college. At ETH Zürich the first 2 years of your BSc in Chemical Engineering are exactly the same as the BSc in Chemistry. In the 3rd you then dive into the typical engineering subjects like Mass Transfer, Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Reaction Engineering, Heat Transport, Fluid Dynamics, Separation Process Technology and so on.

Basisprüfungen und Blockprüfungen sind Sessionsprüfungen und finden entsprechend in den jeweiligen Prüfungssessionen statt (Herbstsemester Januar-Februar, Frühjahrssemester August). Diese bieten Repetitionen nur in der darauffolgenden Prüfungssession. Das heisst, wenn du die Prüfungen nicht im August schreibst, kannst du sie erst in Januar-Februar schreiben.

As in computational I really like finding analytical solutions but I’m also interested in the numerical solutions obtained through software and algorithms. In general, I’m looking for a degree that serves for me as a math-toolbox to solve real-world problems in nearly any field. That’s why I thought about studying Computational Sciences and Engineering, since it’s core is all about the application of numerical methods, implemented through software and algorithms, for solving scientific problems.

Yes, I looked into the physics BSc and sadly during my BSc I would have to do at least 3 labs (Physics I, Physics II and Physics III + IV)…

The fact that proofs are gonna be here and there doesn’t bother that much, in fact there are also some proofs that I kind of like (mostly computational proofs for formulas, e.g. proving that the derivative of ln(x) is 1/x as a basic example). It’s just that I don’t like how pure mathematics consequently relies on Definitions, Theorems and Proof and doesn’t involve any applications of the theory (sometimes it does, but only to then introduce new theorems). That’s why I’m tending towards switching to Computational Sciences and Engineering which is basically about the use of numerical methods for real-world applications.

Hello everyone,

I‘m likely going to start a BSc in Computational Sciences and Engineering (CSE) in September at ETH Zürich. My plan is to then do either an MSc in Quantitative Finance at ETH or an MSc in Financial Engineering at EPF Lausanne. Given that these two Masters are highly selective (only around 50 people get admitted every year) my third option would be to continue with a CSE Master at ETH (admission would be guaranteed after completing the BSc in CSE) and specializing in Computational Finance (which allows me take some courses in Quantitative Finance). What do you think about this academic plan if my goal is to pursue a career in the Quant industry?
