Plan early

Plan your stay early because some programs only have one sign-up date per year. Your stay abroad should match your individual needs and wishes. Inform yourself about the requirements and ranges of courses at the university you wish to study at. Careful preparation is an important prerequisite for a successful – and thus beneficial – period of study abroad and this preparation mostly lies in your hands. The advisory services at IKMZ or the International Relations Department of the University of Zurich are also on hand to assist you.

Mobility in the bachelor and master degree programs

Bachelor degree program

The introductory phase needs to be completed at IKMZ before going abroad. The fourth semester is the best to study at a foreign university. Especially the elective lectures and the elective seminars are recommended for the semester spent abroad.

It is important that you conclude a recognition agreement with the mobility coordinator before going abroad. Generally, a maximum of 30 ECTS points from a Swiss (other than UZH) or foreign university can be credited for Communication Science and Media Research at IKMZ.

Master degree program

Mandatory modules in all master degree programs need to be completed at IKMZ. It makes sense to undertake elective lectures and seminars abroad. Generally, a maximum of 30 ECTS points from a different university will be credited in the major. It is important that you conclude a recognition agreement with the mobility coordinator before going abroad.

The third or fourth semester are suitable for studying abroad. Within the specialized master programs “Strategic Communication & Management” and “Political Communication & News” we recommend only the fourth semester.
