Zurich University

The University of Zurich (UZH) is the largest of the twelve Swiss universities with around 8,100 employees and about 150 institutes, seminars and clinics. As a so-called comprehensive university, it unites all classical faculties under its roof: theology, law, economics, medicine, veterinary medicine, philosophy and mathematics-natural sciences. The University of Zurich was founded in 1833 as the first university in Europe by a democratic state and can today be counted among the best in the German-speaking world. In addition to its own facilities, the University of Zurich also offers access to archives, libraries and institutes of the ETH Zurich as well as private institutions. To date, twelve scientists from the University of Zurich have received a Nobel Prize.
