The University Development Office is the central strategic unit within the Rectorate of ZHdK. It strengthens the university’s capacity to learn from experience, data, dialogue, evaluations, and external developments, and to translate this learning into strategic action. That way, it contributes to the further development of ZHdK as a coherent, decisive, and internationally connected university of the arts. It provides direction, prepares strategic decisions, and supports their institutional implementation.
The mission of University Development is to connect strategy development, governance, quality assurance and development, institutional research, foresight, and global cooperations in such a way that they work together—providing guidance and coherence internally and strengthening the university’s ability to shape and engage with its external environment. University Development is responsible for ZHdK’s institutional accreditation.
The unit is divided into three teams, each with its own responsibilities and focal points, while also collaborating across areas of shared objectives.
