Excellent basic research as well as inter- and transdisciplinarity is our foundation and strength. In our eminent networks, we conduct research nationally and internationally across disciplines and faculties, in Switzerland, Europe and worldwide.
With our wide range of study programs, attractive combination options in the major/minor system and the early inclusion of research elements in the degree course, we are training the next generation of natural scientists for the future to come.
As largest faculty of mathematics and natural sciences in Switzerland, and second largest UZH faculty, we offer outstanding working, research and learning conditions and enable to discover the fascinating world of mathematics and sciences.
On Saturday, March 8, 2025, the Science Info Day, the information day for prospective students, will take place on the Irchel Campus. Are you unsure which mathematics and science degree program is right for you? Get a taste of university life, meet students and gain insights into studying!
Climate Change Increases Risk of Successive Natural Hazards in the Himalayas
An international research team has concluded that the Sikkim flood disaster in the Himalayas in October 2023 was caused by some 14.7 million cubic meters of frozen moraine material collapsing into South Lhonak Lake, triggering a 20-meter flood wave. The event is a striking example of the increasing dangers of climate change in high mountain regions.
Researchers have discovered more than 200 new animal and plant species in the Mekong region of Southeast Asia. In an interview with Radio SRF, Sofia van Moorsel, biodiversity expert at the Department of Geography, explains what science can learn from this and whether these species discoveries can put extinction into perspective.
