International Affairs

The ZHAW increasingly moves in international arenas, working across borders and intensifying cooperation with foreign partners in all disciplines, for staff and students. We use the synergies that develop from collaboration with training and research institutions on all continents. The ZHAW values its regional anchorage in the greater Zurich area, a hub in the global networked world. We are convinced that our society needs more actors who are competent and responsible, who work in networks to generate knowledge, and who recognise cultural diversity as value-added. By promoting international competence, the ZHAW contributes to lasting social, economic, technological and ecological development. In this, the goal is always to cross borders and further the skills and personal development of the individuals who participate. The department therefore supports the members of the international ZHAW community and their foreign partners.
