Pädagogische Hochschule Zürich (Zurich University of Teacher Education; PH Zürich or PHZH) is an institution for the training and continuing education of teachers in the Swiss canton of Zurich.[6]
Organization
editPH Zürich was established in the fall of 2002 through the merger of eleven existing teacher training institutions. It is one of the four schools that form the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (Zürcher Fachhochschule, ZFH). The university is divided into the following areas:
- Education for prospective teachers at all levels (pre-school, primary level, secondary level I, and secondary level II (vocational education))
- Continuing education and services for teachers, school principals, school boards, university lecturers, and parents
- Research and development
As of 2023, approximately 3,800 students and more than 24,500 participants in continuing education programs attend PH Zürich.[7] The university employs about 592 lecturers, researchers, and assistants, 46 professors, and around 296 administrative and technical staff members, either on a full-time or part-time basis (2023).[8]
Cooperations
editAs a member of the Zurich University of Applied Sciences, PH Zürich collaborates closely with other universities in the ZFH system, the University of Zurich, and ETH Zurich. Additionally, it is a member of the International Lake Constance University (Internationale Bodensee-Hochschule, IBH).
PH Zürich also promotes cooperation with educational institutions both domestically and internationally, fostering the exchange of students, researchers, and staff. It maintains cooperative relationships with 80 partner universities worldwide.
Locations and infrastructure

The infrastructure includes classrooms, seminar and group rooms with modern equipment, a triple sports hall, a lecture hall for 440 people, three smaller lecture halls for 150 people each, workspaces for lecturers and students, state-of-the-art information technology, the Zurich University of Teacher Education library, and various dining options.
