Many of these schools were forced to merge with other schools in order to meet the conditions for the polytechnic status (number of students and courses).

1998-2007

In 1998, the EHA was founded. It consisted of the following 8 or 9 part of schools to 2007:

  • HMT - University of Music and Theatre
  • HGKZ - College of Art and Design Zurich
  • HSSAZ - School of Social Work Zurich
  • HAP - School of Applied Psychology
  • HSZ - University of Applied Sciences, Business and Administration Zurich, with the following areas of study: Technology ( HSZ- T), later College of Technology Zurich ( HSZ- T)
  • Business and administration ( HSZ- WV), later School of Business Administration Zurich ( HWZ)

Development since 2007

Because of the new University Education Act of 2007, two new public universities were founded:

  • ZHdK - Zurich University of the Arts (fusion of HGKZ and HMT)
  • ZHAW - Zurich University of Applied Sciences (fusion of ZHW, HSW, HAP and HSSAZ )

Thus the ZFH was between 2007 and 2011 from the state universities ZHAW, ZHdK and PHZH and private universities HSZ -T and HWZ.

As of 1 January 2012, the HSZ -T was kantonalisiert and integrated into the ZHAW.
