Swiss music universities in global comparison
In the QS World University Rankings 2016, only the Swiss music universities in Geneva and Zurich make it into the top 50, albeit slightly behind.
The top five music schools are New York's Juilliard School, Vienna's Musikuni, London's Royal College of Music, the University of Oxford and the Royal Academy of Music. The first German institution in 16th place is the University of Music in Munich. Half of the top ten is made up of British educational institutions.
The Conservatoire de Musique de Genève ranks 19th, while the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) is in 35th place, just ahead of the Mozarteum Salzburg, the Leipzig University of Music and the City University of New York. In both cases, the institutional reputation outweighs the appeal of the teaching staff.
