Working at ZHAW
Are you interested in an exchange with teachers, researchers or staff at ZHAW? The ZHAW School of Social Work has a network of partner tertiary institutions all around the world and organises various activities to enhance its staff’s international and intercultural skills.
«Developing professional skills with a practical and social touch» would be my short description of ZHAW. But of course it is more than that – ZHAW offers a wide range of activities, seminars and resources to enjoy, but most importantly a vibrant academic community to join.
