We are very pleased to announce our UZH International Summer Schools 2022 (virtual edition), which will take place 3 – 22 July 2022. Each program offers 6 ECTS credits and is open to Bachelor and Master students from all subject areas.
We delivered our summer schools online in 2020 and 2021 due to the global pandemic. Both years, the students' feedback was overwhelmingly positive: 95% of the students were highly satisfied with the organization of our programs and 93% particularly liked the multidisciplinary approach of the summer schools. Building on our experience, we want to both share and profit from the diversity and inclusivity that the online format offers and will once again offer our summer schools in a virtual format in 2022.
We encourage your students to apply to us directly: Application is now open and will close on 25 April 2022. To apply, students should first complete our registration form. The 5 easy steps of our application process are listed on our website www.summerschools.uzh.ch/apply-now
Programs on offer include:
Deep Dive into Blockchain – Linking Economics, Technology and Law
For a full understanding of Blockchain, with all its implications and potential for application in practice, it is absolutely crucial to look at it from a multidisciplinary perspective. In this Summer School, students will understand the three key pillars of blockchain systems, namely the technology, the economics, and the legal aspects behind it. Building on this, they will then explore other fields of application, such as forensics and data analytics. This program is highly interactive, with hands-on practice sessions incorporating the most advanced and promising blockchain-based platforms.
Tuition Fee: 1,500 Swiss Francs

This Summer School will focus on the past, present, and future development of the Swiss financial system and wealth management in Switzerland. Students will enhance their knowledge in macroeconomics and finance. Furthermore, they will learn about the most recent and promising trends in FinTech and Sustainable Finance and will apply their gained knowledge in a portfolio management game. This program not only offers the unique opportunity to get insights by leading experts in academia and business, but also to explore Zurich – one of the most important financial centers in the world.

What Defines a Country's Success? Switzerland's Experience in Comparison
This Summer School looks at the development of Switzerland in comparison with other successful small countries. Students will explore singularities, similarities, and remarkable differences, which will help them to understand whether there is one recipe for political survival and economic success, or if there are many different development paths. The course will examine which historical, sociological, and political factors have to be taken into account when explaining a country's success. This will also help to understand why countries react differently to crises such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic.
Tuition Fee: 1,500 Swiss Francs
