Services
Student services
The Student Services (StS) unit coordinates all the activities and services for potential and existing students at the interface between Swiss secondary schools and ETH Zurich. This entails helping future students to choose a course of studies, preparing them for the reality of the study programme they have chosen and trying to make the initial phase of their studies easier. StS also advises students on financing their studies, the search for accommodation, travel to Switzerland and other issues regarding Zurich as a place to study.
Housing services
All students and employees of University and ETH Zurich can use the services of the Housing Office free of charge. Everyone, also non members of the two universities, are welcome to advertise accommodation free of charge. You can place adverts for rooms, apartments or houses which are located in Zurich and its surroundings. The accommodation can be furnished or unfurnished and it can be available temporarily or open-ended. More information and the accommodation adverts are available on the website. The full details of the adverts are only accessible for registered users who identify themselves as members of UZH/ETH whilst creating a user account.
Library services
Around a dozen libraries supply members of ETH Zurich with literature and services that are relevant for research and teaching. ETH Library is ETH Zurich’s central university library.
ICT services
The Service Desk is part of the IT Service Delivery section and is the gateway to the IT Services department. The IT Service Desk staff are familiar with all services and their “operating conditions”.
Medical services
Promoting health in the workplace covers a number of specialist areas, which can be divided – as we have done here – into the categories of occupational safety, occupational medicine and industrial hygiene. SSHE helps members of ETH Zurich resolve questions relating to these areas, either directly or by referring them to a specialist.
Student Life
Campus life
ETH Zurich is concentrating its spatial and structural development in the Zurich area on its two main locations, Zentrum and Hönggerberg. These two sites are home to a wide range of teaching and research offerings and services.
About 30,000 people study, teach, carry out research and work at ETH Zurich. That means the university is the same size as a some small towns in SwitzerlandSwiss town. And campus life is correspondingly varied: in addition to numerous scientific events, the its attractions also include exhibitions, concerts, cinema film showings, sports clubs, science slams and big social events like the Polyball, which is well-known far beyond the city.
