In October 2026, ZHdK was awarded the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE), a mandatory pre-requisite for participation in the Erasmus+ programme.
ECHE provides the general quality framework for European and international cooperation activities of higher education institutions carried out within Erasmus+. By signing the Charter, ZHdK commits to upholding the quality standards, obligations and priorities of the Erasmus+ programme.
The Erasmus+ Student Charter outlines the rights and responsibilities of Erasmus+ participants.
