ETH Zurich Student Association for Humanities, Social and Political Science
Welcome to GESS Who! – the student association for Humanities, Social and Political Sciences at ETH Zurich.
We represent our students’ interests within the department and the VSETH, and make sure that the humanities and social sciences have a voice at ETH.
Through fun events, thought-provoking discussions and opportunities to connect with fellow students, we bring people together and make student life a little more diverse. Studying at ETH isn’t just about lectures and exams – it’s also about meeting new people, exchanging ideas and discovering a different side of ETH!
