Admission restrictions to the ZHdK
The Government Council of the Canton of Zurich has once again set the admission restrictions for the Zurich University of Applied Sciences and the Zurich University of the Arts. In the Department of Music, the number of study places will be increased from 293 to 298.
From the 2017/2018 academic year, the cantonal government has once again set admission restrictions for three academic years for the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) and three departments of the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW). According to the canton's press release, the main reasons for the admission restrictions are space bottlenecks, a limited number of internships and study conditions with increased infrastructure and personnel requirements.
At the ZHdK, the admission capacities are determined per department as before. The number of study places in the Departments of Design (145), Cultural Analysis and Mediation (111) and Art & Media (106) remains unchanged. In the Department of Performing Arts and Film, admission numbers were previously determined every two years. For the 2017/18 academic year, 91 study places are planned. From the 2018/19 academic year, admission numbers will be set at a constant 106. In the Department of Music, the number of study places will be increased from 293 to 298.
At the ZHAW, there are still 210 places available for the Bachelor's degree program in Social Work in the Department of Social Work. In the Department of Health, the number of places in the Bachelor's degree programs in Health Promotion and Prevention and Midwifery (66 each) also remains unchanged. An increase of 6 places each is planned for the Bachelor's degree courses in Occupational Therapy (previously 72), Nursing (previously 120) and Physiotherapy (previously 120). In the Department of Applied Psychology, the number of study places in the Bachelor's degree course of the same name will be increased to 120 in order to compensate for the number of withdrawals and drop-outs.
