Incoming Students
Are you studying at one of our partner universities and interested in spending a varied and enriching semester as a visiting student at PH Zug or in doing a four-week school internship in the Zug region? Would you like to learn more about the Swiss education system, broaden your practical experience and further develop your skills as a teacher?
If so, then why not apply as a visiting student to the University of Teacher Education Zug, which with approximately 400 students claims to be a transparent institution with a lively culture, personal atmosphere and future-oriented philosophy. Visiting students often mention the strong emphasis there is on applied studies in the form of numerous school internships during their stay, let alone all the support and the high quality lessons they receive.
International Teacher Education students on primary level can choose from a variety of English or bilingual (English/German) courses in autumn semester. German speaking students can choose from regular courses in both semesters. Please have a look at the detailed course programme for more information.
Some of our incoming students in autumn 2023 created this video about their semester at PH Zug:

«Overall 100 percent go on Erasmus to Zug its incredible.» Cleo Pitcher Farrell, Marino Institute of Education Dublin, December 2022 |
«It has been a very powerful experience and made myself grow. Not only because of the modules here but because of the different experiences that I lived and the way challenges came into my way and how I overcame them. But overall because of the people that I have met here and all the things I have learnt from them. I really feel that this experience has been very enriching and gave me a completely new perspective about life, inclusion, openness and diversity.» Stéphanie Condie, Universidad Pontificia Comillas Madrid, January 2019 More quotes and experiences can be found in the student reports. |
