HWZ graduates Mas Business Communications and Mas Live Communication
The HWZ Hochschule für Wirtschaft Zürich graduated 18 new communications professionals on September 11, 2012, at the Zunfthaus zur Waag in Zurich. Sylvia Egli von Matt, Director of the Swiss School of Journalism MAZ, gave the keynote address.
The mediawoman congratulated the graduates on their special achievement, focusing on the great importance of professional communications work. "We live in challenging and exciting times. Never before have we had so many opportunities and also constraints to communicate," explained Sylvia Egli von Matt. That's why no company - and certainly no government - can keep quiet about a significant event these days. "One thing is therefore certain," the MAZ director assured the successful graduates, "the media and society need communications professionals to provide first-hand, professional and comprehensive information."
The 18 new communication professionals were able to receive their HWZ diploma on September 11, 2012. Sonja Kramer was awarded the best degree of the year with a grade of 5.2.
