ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences

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.

University of Zurich

The University of Zurich was founded in 1833, though its origins stretch back as far as 1525 and the days of protestant reformer Ulrich Zwingli. Today the University enjoys international renown as a place of education and research. Two thousand lecturers in 140 special institutes provide the broadest range of subjects and courses available from any Swiss seat of higher education. With 24,000 students and 1,900 graduates every year, Zurich is also Switzerland’s largest university. The University provides academic services, works with the private sector and considers itself part of a national and global network for the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge.

Zurich’s international reputation is based on groundbreaking research, particularly in molecular biology, brain research and anthropology, and on the work of the University Hospital and Veterinary Hospital.

The University’s researchers, lecturers and students benefit from the infrastructure that Zurich provides as a center of teaching and research. Apart from its own institutions, the University offers its members access to archive collections, libraries and the facilities of the Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), as well as to the city’s private institutions. Nine museums and collections, covering subjects from anthropology to zoology, constitute yet another valuable academic resource.

ETH Zurich regularly appears at the top of international rankings as one of the best universities in the world. 21 Nobel Laureates have studied, taught or conducted research at ETH Zurich, underlining the excellent reputation of the institute.
Transferring its knowledge to the private sector and society at large is one of ETH Zurich’s primary concerns. It has succeeded in this, as borne out by the 80 new patent applications each year and the 215 spin-off companies that were created out of the institute between 1996 and 2010.
