Seeing as I am STUDYING abroad, I guess it would be good to talk about my classes, huh? Well, this term I am taking:
Advanced Corporate Finance
Financial Risk Management
Microfinance
Enviornmental Finance
Financial Markets and Institutions
Sounds like a lot of finance, right? Well, it is! The reason for that is because The University of Zurich's (UZH) Swiss Banking Institute is focused mainly on banking. So, if you are contemplating attending UZH via our exchange program but are interested in studying marketing, IT, operations, HR, or some other aspect of business, look elsewhere. However, if you are thinking about studying finance from a practitioner's or manager's perspective, this school is an excellent choice. It will give you the tools to engineer financial products, manage portfolios and understand economically why you should do one thing over another. ...Of course, acquiring these super powers while you are here implies that you put the effort in to learn the material.
The last thing I'll say about classes here is that I'm told they can arrange it so that you can take classes from *any* masters program in Switzerland! So if you wanted to study at, say, IMD in Lausanne (ranked 14th of all MBA programs in the world by Financial Times), I'm told they can arrange that! However, you should check that assertion before you act on it.

I feel much better knowing that you are also taking a lot of classes...
That was just kidding. I think this is very useful information to our fellow students who are considering exchange next year. Thank you Tye!
It would also be interesting to know how people feel about the finance crisis there. What do you think?
