About us

The Europa Institute at the University of Zurich (EIZ) is one of the leading competence centers for European law and an important provider of legal training courses in Switzerland. The EIZ offers consulting, training and information services in all areas of European law and Swiss business law.

In addition to seminar activities, the CAS programs are a long-standing service for all those who wish to further their education in a specific field of law.

The courses of study are designed on behalf of the Faculty of Law of the University of Zurich and implemented by the EIZ. The program is subject to the quality requirements of the University of Zurich.

Each CAS program has its own study commission. The commissions are responsible for the strategic management and content of the continuing education program. Among the most important tasks are:

1. Strategic orientation and further development of the program;
2. Decisions on the teaching program, the allocation of ECTS credits and the regulations governing the credits to be achieved;
3. Regulation of quality assurance, in particular by establishing admission principles and determining the evaluation criteria.
