HWZ - University of Applied Sciences in: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    HWZ - University of Applied Sciences in Business Administration Zurich is a public university in Switzerland with a mixed catalogue across undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma, professional, foundation, and doctoral levels. It suits students who want a business-focused institution with a broad programme range rather than a single-subject specialist.

  2. What you can study

    HWZ lists 24 programmes across Bachelor’s Degree, Foundation, Master’s Degree, Diploma, Professional, and PhD / Doctorate levels. Example programmes include BSc (Hons) Accounting and Finance, BSc (Hons) Artificial Intelligence and Business Analytics, MBA Artificial Intelligence (Robert Kennedy College), and BSc (Hons) Business Management, along with other subjects such as animation and visual effects, applied chemistry, and biomedical science.

  3. Getting in

    International applicants should apply through the university’s official admissions process and check the current entry requirements for the programme they want. The university’s website should be used to confirm academic prerequisites, document requirements, language requirements, deadlines, and any programme-specific conditions.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a tuition fee for international students in the available information; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in Switzerland can be significant, so students should budget separately for accommodation, transport, food, and insurance.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The language of instruction is not stated. Before applying, check which programme fits your qualification level, what documents need translation or certification, whether a visa is needed, and how the university handles recognition of prior study for international applicants.

  6. How it compares

    Switzerland has 80 universities, and HWZ stands out within that group as a public applied sciences institution with 24 programmes and coverage from foundation level through doctorate. That makes it a broader option than a single-discipline school, but still one where the programme list and entry rules should be checked closely before applying from abroad.

Written from this university's catalogue entry and its cited encyclopedia summary. Figures are only shown where the institution or a cited source publishes them — always confirm fees and entry requirements with the university itself before applying.
