New students welcomed

Nearly 250 Bachelor students and around 80 Master students have started today their new degree programmes at the Department of Physics. They were welcomed in two separate events.

As is a tradition, the first-semester students of the Bachelor's Degrees in Physics, Mathematics and Computational Science and Engineering were welcomed together in the main building of ETH by representatives of the Departments of Mathematics and Physics. Student organizations gave the new students practical tips for their studies and briefed them on the most important contacts at ETH Zurich and the departments.

The number of students rose again. According to provisional statistics, 246 students began the Bachelor's degree program in Physics, while in last year's fall semester 229 did.
