Student exchanges

Beyond the unique cultural diversity of Switzerland, more student interaction beyond the linguistic barrier means more diverse networks of future young professionals and a stronger multilingual working environment in the country. The strategic partnership therefore encourages student exchange between Geneva and Zurich.
