UZH campus
The campus of UZH is located in Zurich. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. University students have access to the library. It contains a collection of scientific papers, textbooks and fiction. The exchange of intercultural experience occupies a special place in training at UZH. The educational institution regularly invites foreign students to participate in exchange programs and organizes various joint events.

What to do after graduation
In order to stay in Switzerland for another 6 months after graduation, you can apply for a job seeker visa. UZH graduates find jobs quickly, partly because the university has a good reputation among employers according to the QS World University Rankings. We talk about other options for immigration in our article.
