Short courses
If you have only a limited amount of time available and want to dive deeply into a certain topic in the life sciences, our ETH Pearls short courses are just the thing for you.
ETH Pearls short courses are short, intensely focused continuing education courses that are normally offered only to participants in the CAS or MAS programmes. You will gain impactful insights and learn from specialists in your field of interest. The number of participants is restricted.
The duration of the ETH Pearls depends on the chosen short course; each one involves between 20 and 45 contact hours plus blended learning over a period of one to two months. Most lectures are given online; we recommend that you attend the few on-site events (lectures/workshops) offered in each module to facilitate your learning and to profit directly from group discussions, interactions with the faculty, and networking opportunities. If this is not possible for you, you can attend the entire course online via videoconferencing (hybrid learning on request), with the exception of a few courses.

FAQ: Can I take a short course first and then continue with the CAS ETH in Digital Clinical Trials or the MAS ETH in digital Clinical Research?
Yes, it is possible, but please read the following information below:
1. Participants of a short course are not automatically eligible for participating in the CAS ETH DCT or the MAS ETH diCR continuing education programmes.
2. Under the following conditions it is possible that a completed short course for the CAS ETH DCT is recognised as a completed module and does not have to be retaken:
• the acceptance is only possible for the next course of the CAS ETH DCT
• the ETH Pearl is a module of the CAS ETH DCT
• the participant must complete and pass the required credits of the module to earn the ECTS
• the admission criteria for the CAS ETH DCT apply
The fee for the completed short course will not be fully refunded when applying for the CAS ETH DCT. However, 50% of it will be deducted from the CAS ETH DCT course fee when registering for the complete CAS ETH DCT programme.
