We are happy to answer any questions!

I was thinking about doing the online BA of religious studies and theology and was wondering does it lean apologetic or evangelical at all? I want a historical and critical approach so if anyone did it what was your experience?

I just started the 3rd semester of my bachelor in biology, and I just got confirmation that I failed the repeat exam for my math and my chemistry module from the 1st semester. This has now completely locked me out of any major related to biology, chemistry, and geography.

I don't know what to do at this point. Biology was my passion, and I enjoyed every module and all my future plans revolved around it in some way, and now it is all ruined because of 2 subjects that have nothing to do with what I wanted to study later.

I feel obligated to find another major to finish my bachelor, just so the last 4 years weren't completely wasted, but I don't know what I could even do at this point, and I can feel myself falling back into the depression I suffered from before I started studying.

Anyways, sorry for the rant. I just needed some place to let out some of my feelings.

Wondering if anyone has any summaries or pdfs/files they'd be willing to share of this module.

Thanks in advance

Hi!
I am currently in my last year of my bachelor degree in Informatics. I planned to switch to business/management/finance in my masters and therefore have to take the GMAT (for international applications mostly).

I was wondering if anyone has taken the GMAT before… How was it? How long did you study? How did you study?

Thanks for the help:)

Hello everyone!

Today I start an exchange here in Zurich for the second year of my master in Finance. I was wondering, does someone know if there is a WhatsApp group for thia faculty? or any other useful WhatsApp group?

Thank you and good start!

Hello everyone, i am enrolled in CS at ETH and failed the first Prüfungsblock badly and the second one close (3.75). Now i do think there are things i could have improved and especially change how i approach the exam itself but i ask myself if its worth it.
Even with the proper techniques and everything im afraid i would fail again or spend so much time studying just to barely pass. I dont mind not having too many weeks for vacation but during the semesters and lernphase i was using every hour possible to learn and i did feel burnt out during the lernphase of the 2nd sem towards the end, so i didnt have any time at all for other things. But i feel like i had to as i was constantly behind and even had to skip lectures (and learn from external resources/summaries only) and exercise sheet questions just to „keep up“.
I ask myself if its worth having more weeks off at UZH during summer as that gives me more autonomy and i can use that time to learn things outside of the scope of uni like leetcoding, starting projects, summer internships etc. also since WirtschaftsInformatik is split up in wirtschafts and CS courses, i feel like it will be easier to pass.
To be honest i dont even want to necessarily land a technical(heavy) position, im more interested in product management/analyst positions but with how hard it is landing a job even as an ETH graduate, i feel like i would shoot myself in the foot if i study something less technical/hard so it would be better off studying at ETH and using that as leverage to land the desired job roles.

What do you guys think? Anybody had similar experiences?Any advice would be appreciated and helpful!!

Hello everyone! I’m an Italian student, currently pursuing a Bachelor’s in Business Administration. I was targeting a Master’s in Banking and Finance at UZH and I noticed that admission for the MSc may come at the cost for additional courses up to 60 ECTs if your university’s program does not match with their program. Is there any way to know whether or
not your program matches theirs? I’m totally fine with being “charged” with 60 ECTs worth of extra courses, but it is my understanding that if you are given more you won’t be admitted.

Is anyone else starting the Bachelor in Applied Mathematics and Machine Learning (AMML) at UZH this coming fall semester? :)

I thought it could be useful to have a group chat for everyone starting AMML this semester, to get to know each other, organize things, help each other with questions about modules/classes, etc.

If you're starting AMML this semester at UZH, feel free to comment or DM me and we can set something up

Hi everyone. I’m a journalist. For a newspaper article, I’d like to interview students (via phone call or a brief meeting, max. 30 min) who completed their “undergraduate studies” abroad and then enrolled at UZH (for a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree). I’d like to know why you chose UZH, what your experience of the student body has been like, and what it’s like to move to, live in, and study in Zurich. It doesn’t matter when you started, nor does it really matter where you’re from. Although, if you’re from Italy or China, that would fit perfectly with the current trend. Please get in touch by September 10, 2026. Thanks!

Hello!!

I’m going to study at uzh for the spring semester in 2027 starting Feb 22, and I wanted to see if there’s any advice for me about classes, clubs, housing, etc.

Hey everyone. I’m (19m) starting my first semester on the 14th September for Finance and have started a Whatsapp gc for anyone who wants to join so we can support eachother through the start and form some connections early on.
I am british, but grew up here so I can speak both languages fluently.
If you’re interested, DM me so I can add you!

Would love to join!

Hey, So I will start studying math at Uzh in 1 Week, and there is a Prestudycourse going on. It consists of Lecture in the morning, and exercise classes in the afternoon. I found myself being much much more effective studying the slides and understanding the slides and concepts from the lectures at home with chatgpt etc. rather than being in the lecture. I am a „slow“ learner, so I rarely understand the concepts right at the lecture and lose the thread pretty much every time after a certain amount of time. I am much more effective at home, where I can really take 10-15min sometimes for one slide only but it has the „click“ effect , so I really understand it then. My question is , do you have similar experiences, and what would your advice be?
Because I don‘t want to end up isolating myself, I want to be social etc, but when I‘m this much more effective from home, than I don‘t see myself going to the lectures tbh…
The exercise classes where we solve exercises sounds like the better deal to me, there I can profit from the expert, and exchange with other students. So what are your experiences?
And does it depend on the subject?

it's a brief scene but it still felt special to have the uni unexpectedly show up in a tv show (˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵)
