Student Statistics

Record Number of Students

The total num­ber of students at the Bachelor’s, Master’s and doctoral levels rose to 28,476. This is 518 more than the previous year, meaning student numbers reached a new high. Most of this in­crease is due to rising numbers of students in the fields of medicine (+202) and na­tural sciences (+113), as well as the computer science sub­jects located at the Faculty of Business, Economics and Informatics. You can find more of UZH’s student figures in our inter­active diagrams.
