Education
Business schools
MBA programs in Switzerland are one of the top choices for individuals pursuing a career in business management. Leading positions in rankings, based on employer assessments, are held by IMD Business School, Zurich University of Applied Sciences (HWZ), International Organizations MBA at the University of Geneva (HEC), University of St. Gallen, and Business School Lausanne (BSL). Admission to MBA and EMBA programs follows the standard procedure for all international business schools: management exam (GMAT), English language exam (IELTS or TOEFL), and submission of recommendations. Some business schools admit students without a bachelor's degree upon successful completion of international exams. The annual tuition fee ranges from 17,000 to 54,000 CHF and depends on the prestige of the school and the chosen program. Studying at a Swiss business school ensures mastering the practice of strategic management and receiving top-notch career coaching.
Prospects for Business School Graduates
The cost of education and the possibility of receiving a scholarship are far from the most decisive criteria when choosing business education. Much more important is the increase in one's own capitalization after obtaining an MBA degree. In this sense, Swiss business schools are among the global leaders, as they work closely with major businesses and government bodies, and their graduates easily find employment, with an average income of $130,000 CHF per year.
