Ten years of the Toni-Areal

This fall, 711 students are starting their studies at the ZHdK in the Toni-Areal and Gessnerallee, 352 of whom are Bachelor's students and 359 Master's students in the major-minor study model introduced in stages last fall. Of these, 265 have enrolled on a degree course in music, 148 in design, 86 in fine arts, 112 in cultural analysis and mediation and 100 in performing arts and film. A total of 2158 people are studying at the ZHdK. The number of students has remained constant compared to recent years. A numerus clausus applies at the ZHdK; prospective students undergo a strict admission procedure in advance.

In 2007, the Hochschule Musik und Theater Zürich HMT and the cantonal Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst HGKZ merged to form the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste ZHdK with its five departments. Since 1999, the former conservatories of Winterthur and Zurich, which had been founded as music schools in 1873 and 1875 respectively, had been united in the Hochschule Musik und Theater Zürich HMT. The HMT also included the Zurich Jazz School (founded in 1977), the Swiss Computer Music Studio (founded in 1985), the Stage Studio (founded in 1937) and the later Zurich Drama Academy, as well as the Swiss Professional Ballet School (founded in 1986).
