The ZHAW was created in the autumn of 2007 as a result of the merger between the Zürcher Hochschule Winterthur (ZHW), the Hochschule Wädenswil (HSW), the Hochschule für Angewandte Psychologie Zürich (HAP) and the Hochschule für Soziale Arbeit Zürich (HSSAZ). The ZHAW has campuses in Winterthur, Zurich and Wädenswil. The ZHAW’s close ties to the Zurich area make it one of Switzerland’s largest and best-performing multidisciplinary universities of applied sciences, whose importance is recognised both nationally and internationally. Two essential characteristics of the ZHAW are its interdisciplinary emphasis and the focus its teaching places on practical applicability. These attributes are illustrated by the positive impact of collaborative work carried out by specialist areas across borders, and by the above-average level of professional aptitude demonstrated by ZHAW graduates.
Since the 2010/2011 autumn semester, the total number of students enrolled for the ZHAW’s 24 bachelor degree programmes and 11 consecutive master’s degree programmes has been over 9,000. In addition to these courses, the ZHAW also offers a broad range of continuing education programmes, including more than 30 which culminate in the award of a master’s degree. The ZHAW maintains some 30 institutes and centres, working together to carry out research, service and consultancy mandates for external partners in the fields of industry, business and public administration.
