Your study association
The study associations play an extremely important role at UZH. Many committed students act as representatives of their subject beyond their studies. They tend to be very knowledgeable and offer valuable advice and help - or if they can't, they know where to get the info. So if you need help, your study association is always a reliable point of contact.
In case your subject does not have a study association, you can also found one yourself or revive it.
But we don't have one!
If you don't have one, start one. Our Impulsfabrik will be happy to help you.
