In retrospect, what has ZU achieved that another university cannot even begin to offer?

programme at ZU is far superior to the programmes offered at other universities in terms of structure, procedures, content and general regulations and framework conditions. The programme offers a high degree of flexibility, which is absolutely necessary, and at the same time ensures reliable support and supervision by the promoter and ZUGS. This combination is what makes ZU so special."

When I look back on my ZU time today...

"... I think of an incredibly enriching time among like-minded people, characterized by open thinking spaces, inspiring collaboration across disciplinary boundaries and an appreciative way of dealing with each other. All in all, a valuable experience that not only advanced me academically, but also contributed enormously to my personal development."
