11 - Liechtenstein - Curriculum

At the Liechtenstein University of Applied Sciences, all the curriculums of the Bachelor and Master courses are arranged in accordance with the qualification framework for the whole of the university which is based on the general European directives (Bologana, Life-Long-Learning). These directives concern form and content. The "learning outcome" approach characterizes the curriculums and the promotion of action competence (professional, methodic, social and self-competence) is of pre-eminent importance. Knowledge, understanding and ability are categories which assure the promotion of "employablility" to a high degree. All courses are in a completely modular form.

Special importance is attached to the furtherance of internationality and foreign language competence. Parts of courses or complete courses are held in English and academic staff from partner universities from all over the world are involved in the research-based teaching activity. For Bachelor studies in architecture, all students must have an adequate basic knowledge of English at FCE Cambridge or TOEFL Score Card level or acquire this knowledge in the course of their studies. This certificates are a precondition for starting the Master’s course. Bachelor studies in the economic sciences require the submission of a BEC Vantage Certificate by the start of the 5th semester. A knowledge of English at this level as a minimum is the precondition for starting studies for a Master’s degree. The following foreign languages are offered as electives at various levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced) in addition to English:
  • Chinese
