Since 2024, the Global South scholarship programme has given students from socio-economically challenging backgrounds from the Global South the opportunity to spend an exchange semester at ZHdK.
In line with ZHdK's strategy, this third-party funded programme aims to strengthen cooperation with partners from the Global South and to sharpen ZHdK's international orientation. This way, (predominantly) new collaborations with seven universities in Mexico, Chile, South Africa, Brazil and Armenia were established, thereby enabling mobility opportunities that otherwise would not have been possible. The programme also makes a valuable contribution to “Internationalisation@Home”.
Over a period of three years, a total of 15 scholarships will have been awarded via the scholarship programme.
