“IAESTE internships have been excellent opportunities for ZHAW students to gain work experience abroad for years. At the ZHAW School of Engineering, IAESTE internships are also recognized as part of the international profile, which is an additional attraction. Our research groups also offer internships for foreign students, which contributes to the internationalization on campus.
My thanks go to the IAESTE Switzerland team who, with a lot of commitment and care, ensure that the internships run smoothly “

It provides unique experiences abroad and opens up new horizons.”
