The Kalaidos University of Applied Science Switzerland (Kalaidos FH, English Kalaidos University of Applied Science) is one of the nine recognized universities of applied sciences in Switzerland, specializing in economics, law, health and music. It was founded in 1997 and is today the only federally accredited university of applied sciences with private sponsorship. The Kalaidos FH has over 3500 students, around 800 lecturers and over 12,000 successful graduates.
history
The Kalaidos FH was founded in 1997 as a monodisciplinary university of applied sciences with business courses under the names PHW Private University Business and AKAD University for Working People. On April 6, 2005, the Swiss Federal Council approved the Kalaidos University of Applied Sciences Foundation to set up and run the Kalaidos University of Applied Sciences. This approval is based on the Federal Act of October 6, 1995 on Universities of Applied Sciences and the Ordinance on Universities of Applied Sciences of September 11, 1996 (FHSV) and, in particular, on the results of a multi-year peer review process in which compliance with the university standards at Kalaidos FH has been checked and confirmed.
In 2013, the Federal Council ordered the federal accreditation of the University of Applied Sciences on the basis of the Law on University Promotion and Coordination that was passed in 2011 and came into force on January 1, 2015. The renewal of the accreditation is due in 2021/2022. The Federal Council has thus confirmed the recognition of the Kalaidos FH as currently the only private university of applied sciences with multiple departments. Recognition as a university of applied sciences means that the Kalaidos FH has the same rights and obligations as the eight state-sponsored universities of applied sciences and must fulfill the fourfold performance mandate (training, further education, research, services).
The Kalaidos FH is checked and supervised by the Swiss Accreditation Council on behalf of the federal government and, as a private university, does not receive any financial subsidies from the state. It belongs to the Kalaidos education group, which has been part of the Klett Group since 2019 . The fourth generation of the German family business was already a minority shareholder in the Kalaidos education group.
Kalaidos FH is a member of Swissuniversities , the rectors' conference of Swiss universities.
All courses in all four faculties are designed in terms of both training and further education so that they can be completed alongside work and family. Full-time courses are not offered.
