The OSSD transcript of records usually contains grades from school years 9 to 12. This transcript should be submitted.
If such a transcript is not available, an overview of grades from school years 11 to 12 can be accepted instead.
Requirements for Recognition as a University Entrance Qualification (HZB)
A university entrance qualification is deemed valid if the following requirements are met:
- The following must be demonstrated in your transcript of records (at the UPC level):\ a. Two languages: English or French at native-speaker level, and one foreign language.\ b. Mathematics: “Advanced Functions” and “Calculus and Vectors”.\ c. A natural sciences subject: either biology, chemistry, or physics.\ d. At least one subject equivalent to the upper secondary level of a German Gymnasium, excluding natural sciences or languages already covered.
- Applicants must achieve a minimum overall average of 65% across the six University Preparation Courses (UPCs).
- Each required subject must be completed through two full-year courses: one in 11th grade (level 3U) and one in 12th grade (level 4U). Each course is worth one credit point.
Please Note
12th grade University Preparation Courses (UPCs) are labeled ‘4U’, except for foreign language courses, which end with ‘DU’. College courses and University/College courses (M courses) are not UPCs and cannot be used as substitutes.
‘Advanced Functions’ UPC is a mandatory prerequisite for the 'Calculus and Vectors' UPC. The ‘Advanced Functions’ UPC may be taken in either 11th or 12th grade.
