About PHZH

The Zurich University of Teacher Education (PH Zurich) is the education and in-service training institute for teachers in the Swiss Canton of Zurich.

The PH Zurich has been in operation since the fall of 2002 and grew out of the merger of the eleven previous institutions of teacher training. It belongs to the Zurich University of Applied Sciences Council and is divided into the following areas of activity:

• Training for prospective teachers at all levels
• Training and consulting for practising teachers and school authorities
• Research and services

Around 3800 students and 600 teaching staff, scientific collaborators and assistants, and almost 300 employees in administrative, technical and operational functions (full- or part time) currently work at the PH Zurich. Moreover, about 21,000 applications are received each year for the PH’s continuing education, professional development, counselling and training services.
