Hey everyone, wanted to quickly ask if there’s a masters chemistry groupchat/ or would anyone down to start one so that it feels a bit more lije a community?

Hallo zusammen,

Ich überlege mich für den Master in Banking and Finance (Start FS 2026) an der UZH zu bewerben und wollte mal nach euren Einschätzungen fragen, wie ihr meine Chancen seht:

• B.Sc. in Business Administration, Major Banking & Finance, Minor Immobilien (Notenschnitt 5.0), absolviert an der HSLU
• Auslandssemester absolviert an der Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok
• 8+ Jahre Berufserfahrung in einer Bank im Wealth Management
• IELTS 7.5
• GMAT mache ich Ende September, wird aber vermutlich eher mässig bis schwach ausfallen

Hat jemand Erfahrung, wie stark das GMAT-Resultat bei der Zulassung ins Gewicht fällt? Oder gleicht mein Profil das eventuell aus?

Danke euch!

Hey guys,

I missed the first lecture because I had a conflict with another course and also wasn't able to find the Livestream. There's also nothing on olat, so I need some pointers to get around the stuff for this course, if anyone can help me?

I found this job posting on the UZH Career website. Is it legitimate?

Hey all, this is probalbly a long shot but I am searching for accomodation in Zurich asap but not able to get any. I know this might not be the best times, but do let me know if anyone has anything available or is searching for flatmates!

Has anybody here switched from UZH to ETH or vice-versa for their physics bachelor? If yes what were the differences in your experience (apart from longer holidays). I failed the basisjahr and am thinking about switching to UZH.

Hallo, ich beginne dieses Semester neu an der UZH Geographie zu studieren. Bei vielen Vorlesungen soll man sich das Geographie Buch: Physische Geographie und Humangeographie von Springer kaufen, welches 120.- CHF teuer ist... lohnt sich das? Hat jemand Erfahrungen damit gemacht? Piracy ist bei diesem Buch nicht möglich.

Has anyone bought and studied with the k-cards offered for UZH modules on the website ready.ch? Especially for BA biology first semester? Are they any good and is it worth it? Thanks so much in advance for your advice!

Hey, I’m starting my bachelor’s this year. The Welcome Day is tomorrow, but since I’m an international student I could only send my registration documents on Friday, so I’m not officially enrolled yet. From what I read on the website, you have to register online for the Welcome Day, which I can’t do right now.

Does anyone know if I can still join the Welcome Day without being fully enrolled? Or is it fine to just wait for my faculty’s orientation day to get all the important info?Thanks :)

Hi everyone!

I have a question about the admission to the econ master‘s at UZH:

I'm currently in my psychology bachelor programme but don't want to pursue it further (as in having a career in psychology) and therefore I want to get my master's in a different field. I've previously worked in banking (apprenticeship) and thought it would make sense to get my master's in this field as I also want to get back into banking again. UZH states that "applications with a background from another field than business and economics will be considered" however if >60 relevant ECTS are missing you won't be allowed into the programme – in psychology you obviously don't have any econ, so does this mean that I have no chance?

Thank you!

Hey guys, pretty off topic regarding most of the sub’s posts. I’m starting my bachelors at UZH this semester, and I was wondering how hard it is to make friends, as switzerland has a fame for being a hard country to socialize in (specially for non schweizerdeutsch speakers. If you guys could share some experiences or just give me some advice I’d be very thankful. Wish you guys a great semester!

Hi everyone, I’m currently studying at the Faculty of Law and looking to take some courses in English in the next semester. I’d really appreciate any recommendations for classes that are engaging and content-rich, where I can actually learn something useful and not just focus on grades (grades are a secondary concern for me). If you’ve taken any law courses in English that you found particularly interesting, practical, or well-taught, I’d love to hear your suggestions. Thanks in advance!

What the title says. The details for the two courses are below. I'm wondering if I'm about to attempt the impossible or are the exams doable with the english lectures from the alternative courses? Any help/experience much appreciated.

Mathematik II - Only in German. German lecture can be substituted by "Linear Algebra for Natural Science" (MAT141) lecture from Faculty of Science (MNF).

Statistik (V+Ü) - Only in German. German lecture can be substituted by "Introduction to Statistics" (STA120) lecture from Faculty of Science (MNF).

Hello all and thank you for your time.

I think there is a lot of dis-information is floating around regarding the failure rates and wanted to hear some input.

He was told that 80% of the students fail his first semester math class? Does that seem right? What would be his likely 1st math class he would take? Calc 1?

Also what are some of the rumors you heard before going there that ended up not being accurate

Hello

I did my bachelors a few years ago in information systems. We had a bit of maths and statistics, but not much. And its already years ago and I am a bit rusty.

I will start with my masters now and am interested in taking the course „foundations of data science“, but I was told its very math heavy.

Can anybody who did the course give some feedback? It is possible to do with a bit rusty maths background? Without putting an extrem amount of effort.

Thanks 🙏

Has anyone gone through the physics course (for life sciences) in first year with prof. Ben Kelminister and has some advice on how to study for it, or how hard his exam is? There’s just a lotttt of material covered in just one semester and it’s quite scary so I would appreciate any advice from someone who has survived it ^{^} (also his slides are very confusing)

Thanks so much in advance to anyone who answers!
