As in many other universities in the country, the academic calendar at UZH is divided into two semesters. But for convenience, tuition fees are calculated per year. Tuition fees at UZH are equal for locals and foreigners, and start from 321 USD per year. The university has several financial aid programs that help students cover part of the cost of education. The exact cost of programs and information on the availability of scholarships can be found on the website of the university.
When choosing an educational institution, it is important to be aware of additional costs: accommodation, transportation, study materials, meals and personal expenses.

You can't enter a Swiss university right after the 11th grade. Therefore, before entering, foreign students need to study for 2 years at a university in their native country. Before applying, you need to pass the IELTS or TOEFL exam. The minimum IELTS score is 7. The TOEFL score is not lower than 100.
To confirm your level of English, you must pass IELTS or TOEFL. The minimum IELTS score for admission is 6.5. TOEFL — 79 or higher.
If you are applying for a doctoral program, you must pass the language exam — IELTS, TOEFL or CAE. For enrollment, you need to pass IELTS with 7 points. The minimum score for TOEFL is 100.
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.

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.
