      <link>https://www.es.uzh.ch/en/research/newsarchive/2012/crossmoduleexams.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[For the attention of Master students in English Literature and Linguistics:

Please
 note that the new Studienordnung that is expected to come into force in
 the HS 13 retains the modulübergreifende Prüfung for all 90 KP options 
in English. Those students who are nearing the end of their studies will
 therefore not be able to avoid the examination by delaying their 
graduation until the end of the HS 13. 

As 
regards all other Fachformate: a decision will be made in the 
Institutsversammlung meeting in early December as to what will replace 
the modulübergreifende Prüfung for those students nearing the end of 
their studies. The resulting information will then be made available on 
the website as soon as possible.]]></description>
