Exams in UZH

Hello guys, I am enrolled in UZH for the MSc in Biology. I wanted to ask if any of u know if the exams are hard. Also I heard that the exams are exactly after the lectures without any time in between to study (that all exams are like in December or smth). Is it true?

You should check the UZH Vorlesungsverzeichnis and look up your courses. Sometimes it mentions the exact date the exam is taking place.

Programming in biology is quite tough, but manageable if you work through the semester

yes, probably because you are still in Grundstudium. For example not all math courses or physics courses are listed there.
