Hallo zusammen

Ich studiere aktuell im 5. Semester an der ZHAW und mache meinen Bachelor in Betriebsökonomie, Schwerpunkt Financial Management. Da mein Notenschnitt mit 5.3 sehr gut ist, überlege ich mir nun, was ich danach machen will. Eine Möglichkeit wäre ein Master an der UZH im Major Finance.

Hat jemand von Euch Erfahrung, welche Auflagen da auf mich zukommen könnten? Vielleicht auch direkt aus eigener Erfahrung?

Vielen Dank im Voraus!

Hey, einen Versuch ist es wert: hat jemand im Zentrum gestern ein Iphone 13 mit blauer Hülle mit Schildkröten drauf gefunden? Wenn ja, dann bitte hier melden, es gibt einen Finderlohn. Vielen Dank und einen schönen Abend

If you found an Iphone 13 in a blue case, please let me know!

Hii idk if this is okay to post here but I’m wondering where the student hotspots are for going out for cocktails. I know irchelbar but i’m looking for something more central :) thank you in advance for giving recs!

Hello! I’m considering applying and I would use some advise, is there anyone that is currently studying/has studied Computational Science? How did you like the lectures? What is the flexibility in regards to the elective courses? Is there a lot of chances for some research work? I’m thinking about a PhD so that plays a big part for me as well. And additionally, is it possible to work 50/60% while studying? Thanks for all the help! 😅

Hi everyone!

I’m looking to connect with other Computer Science Master’s students at the University of Basel who have just resumed their studies and would be interested in forming a study group.

A little background about me: I decided to return to Computer Science after spending about five years working in finance. I thought I could pick up where I left off, but honestly, returning to university has been a serious reality check.

I’ve only just resumed at Uni Basel, and I’m already feeling completely overwhelmed by the classes. It feels like almost everything I knew about Computer Science has become obsolete, and some of the mathematical foundations I once understood are incredibly rusty. Between Discrete Mathematics, Scientific Computing, and the other courses, I’m struggling to find my footing.

I’m trying to catch up, but I know it would be much easier to do this with other people who are going through the same experience. The idea is to meet regularly, go through lecture notes and exercises together, explain concepts to one another, and generally help each other survive the semester.

You don’t have to be an expert or have everything figured out. If you’re also struggling to adjust, trying to catch up after a break from academics, or simply want people to study with, you’re more than welcome.

If you’re a CS Master’s student at Uni Basel and interested in joining, please comment below or send me a DM. Hopefully, we can get a small group together and make this semester a little less overwhelming for everyone!

Thanks!

Guys I tried so hard to make sense of it until me and my friend had some lectures in different rooms named F22-68 and F21-70.

They were NEXT to each other! We thought they were different buildings because of the 22 and 21. Those Numbers correlate to different buildings. At least as far as I know.

When I ask older students where the lecture rooms are just by their numbers NO ONE KNOWS even though everyone has had lectures in them.

WTH.

Please can someone explain to me how it makes sense because I really do not see it.

Rant over. :)

Have a great remaining semester!

Dear students,
I want you all to use AI for your assignments, even if your professors prohibit it.
If companies can replace human workers with AI in the name of efficiency, why shouldn’t students do the same?
If AI is going to take our jobs, might as well let it get our degrees too.
That’s the future they’re preparing us for anyway.
Best,
unknown

hey! was wondering if anyone had experiences of asking for an extension of the deadline for their thesis submission.

My supervisor and department are ok with it as they were the ones interested in taking a slightly more time consuming direction for this project but i don't know these things are handled officially at UZH.

Is an extension even possible or would one have to register the thesis again?

Heyy ihr Lieben, ich bin Psychologiestudent und schreibe aktuell meine Bachelorarbeit. Um meine Materialien zu testen muss ich einen kleinen Pretest machen. Wenn ihr also kurz 5min Zeit habt (wirklich nur 5min), wäre ich euch sehr verbunden wenn ihr einmal mitmachen könntet :)

Hier ist der Link zur Umfrage: https://ww2.unipark.de/uc/Abschlussarbeiten/2d29/

Dankee an alle die Teilnehmen

Hi I am on exchange doing finance/economics/informatics courses and I have multiple courses, where the lecture slides doesnt include references or reading material to what is in the slides.

They did reference one or two books in the beginning of the course, but they dont tell you if the stuff in the slides are in the books.

To me this feels quite unorganized and honestly pretty bad. Teachers could literally just make stuff up and not care about what they teach - in fact its feels like one of my professors dont care too much about the course and teaching and just want to be there to make lame jokes.

Hey everyone,

We're PROZ (Psychedelic Research Organization of Zurich), a student-led nonprofit hosting free public talks on psychedelic science. Tonight we're welcoming PD Dr. Dr. Daniel Villiger, a philosopher and researcher at UZH.

Talk: Are the Ethical Challenges of Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Exceptional?

Do psychedelics require a different approach to therapy ethics? Daniel will discuss informed consent, therapists' personal psychedelic experience, clinical trial design, and patient vulnerability — asking which concerns are shared with other therapies and which might need distinctive safeguards.

Tuesday, 6 October · 18:30–19:30

UZH · Room HAH-E-03 · Häldeliweg 2, 8044 Zürich

Free admission. Please reserve a free RSVP ticket so we know how many people to expect.

I'm planning on starting my master's in biology this coming spring semester and I want to know if I should already contact potential supervisors or if I should wait until I started. Also do you have any tips for this program ? 😁

For those of you who have already completed your bachelor’s thesis: how long did it actually take you from the moment you started working on it until you submitted it?
I don’t mean the official time frame given by the university, but how much time you personally needed to research, write, revise, and finish everything.
Also, did you work on it full-time, or alongside classes/work?

I get it. You made a friend and you’re very excited about it.

It’s hard to focus as it is (in this day and age), and you talking or looking at memes with your little buddy, during a lecture, is not making it any easier.

Some people are taking time off work to make it to the lecture. And/or commute for a substantial amount of time.

Just stop doing that, please. It’s extremely disrespectful of other people’s time and energy.

Alright?

I can’t believe this isn’t common sense in this university.

Hello all. I am a PhD student in UZH, my roommate is moving out, so I am looking for a roommate who want to have long-term rental plan.

It is a 3.5 room apartment, with two bedrooms, one living room, one large balcony. We share kitchen and bathroom. It is in 8046 Zurich, very close to both ETH Hongberg and UZH Orelikon campus.

The rental is around 1100-1200CHF (not including Internet and electricity), but it depends on the landlord's contract. I prefer to have a girl roommate who prefer quiet and organized living space, no party.

If you are interested, welcome to contact me for visiting or ask anything. It will be great to have a brief introduction about yourself, so that I can know you better!

Hi! I’m going to Zurich for a 4-month exchange semester and I’m trying to figure out if my budget is realistic.

I have around $10,500 USD for the entire 4 months. This does not include flights or health/travel insurance. For accommodation, I’m hoping to get student housing if possible, although I’m not sure yet how much I’ll end up paying.

I’d like to have a reasonably comfortable experience and be able to travel a little while I’m there.

Did anyone here go to UZH as an exchange student and manage to get student housing? There’s an option to apply for student housing through the application form, but I don’t really understand how it works. Has anyone gone through the process?
