Network

The School of Business is well networked internationally and fosters partnerships around the world.

We take a practical approach to preparing our students and clients to work in an international environment. Mobility has top priority for our students, lecturers and staff in this regard:

Half of our students spend a phase of their studies abroad or participate in an international student project.
Lecturers and staff are involved in the internationalisation of the School of Business FHNW and gain global experience by means of stays abroad, lecturer exchanges, attending international conferences, participating in international research or consultancy projects or by lecturing in one of our continuing education programmes abroad.
Our staff has daily contact with students from all over the world. For this reason the School of Business FHNW participates in various projects involving staff shadowing projects. In addition, our staff can take part in Erasmus Lifelong Learning programmes.
