Today, Zurich shared good news: local education authorities and learning centres confirmed new support programs to help international students adjust to life and study in the city more easily. The news comes at a time when Zurich is still becoming one of the most welcoming places in Europe for international students.
The new programs focus on helping people in real life, learning a language, and becoming part of the community. They were made after getting input from international students who said they needed more organised help during their first few months in Zurich.
Better Orientation Services
Beginning in early 2025, new residents will be able to attend better orientation sessions that cover things like daily life in Zurich, public transport, health insurance, banking, and student services. The goal of these sessions is to help students feel more at ease faster and lower the stress of moving to a new country.
Extra Help with Language
Zurich is known for being a place where many languages are spoken, and the new programs include more support for German-speaking international students. There will be extra classes on weekends and in the evenings, which will make it easier for students with busy study schedules to improve their language skills and get more involved in local life.
Events for students and cultural activities
There will also be a number of cultural events and student get-togethers throughout the year. These activities help students make friends, learn about other cultures, and build a strong social network. Zurich thinks that students do better in school when they feel connected and supported.
A Good Move for Global Education in Zurich
This change shows that Zurich has always been dedicated to providing high-quality education and being open to the world. The city shows once again that it cares about its international student community and wants to make their school experience easier and more fun with these new programs.
International students who choose Zurich in 2025 can expect an even more helpful, welcoming, and student-centered study environment that lives up to the city's reputation for being safe, excellent, and multicultural.
