Student Representatives
Two student representatives are elected for each class for one year (1st-2nd semesters, 3rd-4th semesters, 5th-6th semesters). Representatives are responsible for representing student interests toward the programme. The election mode is decided by the students and communicated to us.
The department’s student association elects its delegates to various university bodies and is responsible for other organisational matters. ZHdK Student Council (“sturZ”) is responsible for representing student interests, including self-management, towards the university. For details, see http://sturz.zhdk.ch.

ZHdK’s Student Advice Centre offers useful assistance with a wide range of issues, including funding, accommodation, employment, living in Zurich, etc. for details, see www.zhdk.ch/studierendenberatung.
