Studying history not only consists of attending seminars and lectures or passing course assessments. History students can e.g. become a member of the student’s association, FHist, or join the editorial team of the magazine Etü, or connect with students around the globe. UZH’s advisory services will support you in dealing with every-day university life and defining career prospects.

Student’s assosication Fhist – “Fachverein Geschichte”

Fhist as student’s association represents the interests of history students within the Department of History and beyond. FHist also organizes events like the “HS bar”, “Chlaus-Apéro” (Christmas reception) as well as study trips—thus, they offer plenty of opportunities to meet and connect with other students.
