Combining theory and practice

What you learn with us will be reinforced in your everyday working life – and vice versa. With their extensive practical experience, our lecturers set the right priorities and always provide current insights that are relevant to your field of activity. Their proximity to research also provides you with new impetus and approaches to issues that concern you. You benefit from enriched knowledge acquisition in versatile learning settings with a high degree of practical relevance.

We guide you through the learning process

Whether you want to strengthen your professional expertise, have your sights set on a new position, are keen to expand your field of activity, or aspire to a management position, a degree from the ZHAW brings you one step closer to your goal. Not least because we are there to advise you right from the start, ensuring you find the right programme for your needs. Our programme directors, lecturers and administrative staff are always available ready to answer your questions at any stage of the learning process.

Discover new perspectives

Expand your horizons and your professional network: lively exchange of ideas is just as important to us as a stimulating learning environment. In face-to-face lessons, we impart knowledge and lead exercises in small groups. In independent study, you will link up your newly acquired skills with your existing experience and prepare for practical application in your everyday life. At the ZHAW, you benefit from a wide range of settings with a variety of teaching methods, e-learning and plenty of opportunity for reflection.
