Winter School Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) School of Health Sciences

We offer 10 different interprofessional one week courses in German or English.

Together, Swiss and international students will learn about interprofessional collaboration in the health and social sector. Future health professionals and social workers gain new competences in dealing with complex and challenging interprofessional situations and learn how to collaborate efficiently.

Together, students of health professions and social work participate in role-play activities, study visits, group projects and interactive lectures to learn about working together in interprofessional teams, in different health and social systems and with clients
from different cultures.

Courses are primarily aimed at the bachelor level, but master level students are equally welcome to participate. Because some practical experience is required, participants must be at least in the second year of their BSc programme.

Some of the courses are held in English and some in German. To attend a course, a B1-B2 language level is required.

For each course, students will gain 2 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) credits
subject to 50-60 hours of student work.
