- HMT - University of Music and Theater

- HSSAZ - University for Social Work Zurich
- HAP - University of Applied Psychology
- HSZ - University of Applied Sciences for Technology, Business and Administration Zurich, with the following fields of study:
- Technology (HSZ-T), later Zurich University of Technology (HSZ-T)
- Business and Administration (HSZ-WV), later Zurich University of Economics (HWZ)
- HSW - University of Wädenswil
- PHZH - Zurich University of Education
- ZHW - Zurich University of Applied Sciences Winterthur
Development since 2007
Due to the new University of Applied Sciences Act, two new state universities were founded in 2007:
- ZHdK - Zurich University of the Arts (merger of HGKZ and HMT)
- ZHAW - Zurich University of Applied Sciences (merger of ZHW, HSW, HAP and HSSAZ)
Between 2007 and 2011, the ZFH consisted of the state universities ZHAW, ZHdK and PHZH as well as the private universities HSZ-T and HWZ.
On January 1, 2012, the HSZ-T was cantonalized and integrated into the ZHAW.
