What Does UZH Offer?
Innovation and Diversity in Education
UZH provides MOOCs to the wider public in the belief that knowledge assists society in self-reflection, thus contributing to its development. UZH is particularly committed to the diversity of academic knowledge and disciplines, and the course content imparts research-based knowledge that goes beyond its direct practical application in everyday professional life. Some of these courses are university-level, others are aimed at lay people, meaning that people with different backgrounds in different places can participate in the innovative and researched-based education at UZH.
