Many of our students are not Swiss: they come from up to 70 different countries. Some apply from abroad, some are already resident in Switzerland. The range of degree programmes taught in English at Bachelor, Master or Executive level, delivering applied, practice-oriented education, appeals especially to international students.

To apply for one of these programmes, international students have to fulfill entry criteria. For Bachelor programmes this includes (an equivalent of) a professional baccalaureate, one year of documented practice in the field of study and language proficiency. (For the BSc in International Business Management no practical experience is required). At Master level this includes a Bachelor degree in an approved field and language proficiency.

If you do not qualify for Swiss subsidies you are liable to pay the full fees. You will also possibly need to apply for a student visa.

You can also apply to enter our degree programmes at different levels providing you meet the criteria. If, for instance, you have already studied for a considerable period in your own country and wish to transfer to us, then we will evaluate your documentation individually.
