New perspectives on the natural and engineering sciences
Science and technology would not be possible without the historical, moral, epistemological, legal, economic, and political contexts.
The study programme Science in Perspective (formerly compulsory elective courses) conveys competences which enhance ETH Zurich's curriculum and are relevant to the professional world.
Reflective and contextual knowledge
Through seminars and lectures, the students learn to understand and critically question the correlations between science, technology, society, economy, history, law and moral.
