Putting people first

At ETH Zurich, health and medicine are key areas, with more than 100 professors undertaking research in these fields. The university has stepped up its collaboration with other players in the healthcare sector. ETH aims to accelerate the translation of research discoveries into everyday clinical practice. ETH recently launched a new and innovative Bachelor’s degree in Human Medicine. This year, graduates from the programme’s inaugural intake went on to complete Master’s degrees at universities in Zurich, Basel or Lugano – and they are now ready to begin applying their knowledge for the benefit of patients.
