Why studying at IKMZ?

Expand your education and world perspective by spending a semester or two at one of the most renowned departments of communication science in Europe, with top positions in international rankings. If you are enrolled as a student at one of our partner universities, you can complete an exchange semester or year at IKMZ and earn credits to transfer back to your home university. In case your home university does not have an exchange agreement with the University of Zurich/ IKMZ, you have the possibility to complete one or two semesters at our department as regular visiting student. See below for more information.

  • Wanqi Lu, MA student from China, Shanghai Jiao Tong University

    "Life in Switzerland is like Utopia. It was the first time I had left home alone to live 10,000 kilometers away, but instead of feeling lonely, I felt endlessly free. University, accommodation, leisure, and so on, every aspect of life was fantastic, satisfying and full of surprises. This is a treasure spot for everyone to discover. I felt so happy and lucky to have had the opportunity to experience this completely different way of life!"
  • Nina Snoeck, MA student from the Netherlands, University of Amsterdam

    "My experience in Zurich was amazing. The city and its surroundings have so much to offer. I will definitely go back! In addition, the UZH offers courses that cover current topics, which makes it so interesting to keep learning."
