Network Access

Public Areas with WLAN Access

Most public areas at UZH are equipped with a wireless network (WLAN – Wireless Local Area Network), allowing students and employees of the university to access the network.

Instructions for WLAN connections

Eduroam

Members of other universities can also use the “eduroam” wireless network as part of the eduroam inter-university service.

Guests / Congress Participants

Internet access for guests can be used anywhere where the UZH WLAN is available. All you need to do is select the "uzh-guest" WLAN. Then you must accept the terms of use at the bottom of the page and enter your mobile number in the registration form. You will then receive an access code via SMS, which you can use to activate the access.

All mobile phone subscriptions with which you can receive SMS in Switzerland are supported.

Cable Connections to the University of Zurich (NUZ) Network

At the UZH City campus, the Irchel campus and various external UZH locations, there are public areas and work rooms with network sockets (NUZ) for your mobile devices.

Instructions for NUZ connections


On the premises of the institutes or the Central Services, the network sockets are not freely accessible (e.g. fixed IP). Should you have any problems, please contact the institute's IT/Network Coordinator or the ICT Workplace Support.

Network Access Control (NAC)

Why do we need NAC?


To increase IT network security Network Access Control (NAC) was introduced at UZH.

This means: only devices with an authorized login (username and password) can connect to the wired UZH IT network. Please watch the video «Network Access Control» of UZH’s Chief Information Security Officer!

How to configure NAC on your devices
 

Mobile phones, tablet computers and notebooks that exclusively connect via WiFi (WLAN) do not need a NAC configuration. Same applies to all IT equipment you need in your home office.
