Internationalisation at home
The School of Health Sciences runs Winter Schools and Summer Schools as well as other activities that attract international students to come and study here.
Winter School
Every year since 2015 we have been offering the international Winter School “Challenges in Interprofessional Health and Social Systems”. The language of instruction is partly German, partly English. We invite all students from our international partner universities to attend.

Mobility Days in Occupational Therapy
The Mobility Days of the ZHAW Institute of Occupational Therapy take place annually. Since 2024, the Mobility Week has taken on a new format. On one hand, it is now held in spring and lasts three days, from Thursday to Saturday. The international days now run under the motto: “Building Bridges for a Sustainable Future – Occupational Therapists in Action.”
European Nursing Module (ENM)
The European Nursing Module is a two-week exchange programme for students in the European Nursing Module Network and the Institute of Nursing’s partner universities.
