UZH participates in Una Europa

(CONNECT) Students at the University of Zurich (UZH) will be able to take and complete modules from other European universities online from the coming fall semester. According to a press release, this initially involves the computer science modules Data Science for Lawyers, Massive Data Processing and AI in Society. In a first phase, students can take advantage of these offers from the University of Bologna, Universidad Complutense de Madrid and the University of Helsinki.

This extension of studies is made possible by the European university network Una Europa, based in Brussels, in which eleven universities - nine of which are in the EU - are associated.

“The module exchange gives students the opportunity to take courses that are not available in this form at UZH,” says Annika Silberstein, who is responsible for coordinating the module exchange at the Vice-Rectorate for Academic Affairs, in the press release. “The exchange offers an opportunity to gain experience outside of UZH during your regular studies.”

It is important for students that the qualifications obtained in the foreign modules are recognized for their studies at UZH. Furthermore, two Bachelor's degree programs in European Studies and Sustainable are offered jointly by UZH and several participating universities. In the future, studying at UZH should open up a wide range of study opportunities throughout Europe, says Silberstein. ce/ww
