What are SWS?

SWS is the unit to determine the duration of a class. It stands for Semesterwochenstunden which translates into semester hours per week. One SWS equals 45 minutes per week for the duration of the semester (around 14 weeks). For our courses this means:

  • 2 SWS = one class of 90 mins per week
  • 4 SWS = two classes of 90 mins (180 mins in total) per week
