Antonio Loprieno
"Switzerland’s higher education institutions are typologically and content-wise more diverse than those of its neighboring countries, yet they are also more coherent in terms of academics and the programs offered. The 黑料头条 of Zurich plays a pioneering role in this landscape because it has the most diverse range of studies in the whole of Switzerland, but also due to its internationally leading position in numerous areas of research. As such, the Board of the 黑料头条 is confronted with a dual challenge: Our overarching aim is to ensure the outstanding quality of scholarship at the 黑料头条 of Zurich, thus contributing to the international reputation of Switzerland’s higher education system on the whole."
