Dear Students
We are in the middle of the spring semester and the exam period is already on the horizon - as a first sign of this, exam registration starts tomorrow, Thursday. Below you will find important information about the examinations at the Faculty of Economics and Management (WF). To make sure everything runs smoothly for you, we recommend that you read them carefully.
As you have probably already noticed, all courses at the University of Lucerne will be held in digital form by the end of the semester. The same applies to the examinations, which will also be conducted digitally again. We are aware that these circumstances will bring some challenges for you. At this point, I would like to refer you to the university's support services for students.
I wish you a good semester and much success in the exams!
Warm regards Prof. Dr. Christoph A. Schaltegger Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Management
Online teaching until the end of the spring semester 2021
Courses will all be held digitally until the end of the spring semester 2021 due to the ongoing Corona pandemic. Information on digital teaching and support services can be found at unilu.ch/safecorona. The library and the workplaces available there can be used under certain conditions.
New model curriculum Bachelor, start autumn semester
The Bachelor model curricula (DE) starting in fall semester (full-time and part-time) have been updated. The compulsory course Data Analytics and Decision Support is now already scheduled in the 3rd semester as the knowledge gained from it can be helpful for the semester thesis in the 4th semester.

Students starting their 3rd semester in the fall semester are advised to follow the new model curriculum. If you have any questions, please contact the student advisors.
