Universität Zürich

The University of Zurich was founded in 1833 by the canton of Zurich, which combined existing schools of theology, law and medicine with a new faculty of philosophy. It was one of the earliest European universities established by a democratic state rather than by a monarch or the church, and it admitted its first woman student, Nadezhda Suslova, in 1867. Today it is Switzerland's largest university, with seven faculties spread over city-centre and Irchel campuses.

• Medicine and life sciences
