Company Description
The University of Zurich (UZH) is dedicated to unrestricted freedom in research and teaching, emphasizing academic freedom coupled with a high degree of responsibility, including ethical considerations for humans, animals, and the environment. Founded on April 29, 1833, UZH was the first university in Europe established by a democratic state rather than a monarchy or the Church. It originated from the merger of existing colleges of theology, law, and medicine, supplemented by a faculty of philosophy.
Educational Approach
UZH offers a broad range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs across seven faculties, covering approximately 100 different subject areas. The university emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration and research-led teaching, aiming to equip students with critical thinking skills and innovative problem-solving abilities.
