During the year under review, the University’s total revenue amounted to CHF 947.5 million, resulting in an overall deficit of CHF -8.7 million. The result attributable to basic funding was a deficit of CHF -19.4 million. External funding remained constant at around CHF 366 million. In the case of external funding and assets, the stock market crash reduced the positive result.
Basic funding / external funding: The income generated by the University, which serves as the University's structural basic funding, counts as basic funding. All other income is recorded as external funding. Due to the separation of revenue into basic funding and external funding, individual items can only be compared with the income statement according to Swiss GAAP FER to a limited extent.
Intercantonal University Agreement (IUV): The IUV governs the participation of the cantons. It determines the contribution that the home canton can give a student toward payment for their degree course.
Until 2016 the income of the service centers was booked under basic funding, from 2017 under external funding.
