Business & Management programs
- Master in Strategy and International Management (SIM-HSG) — FT Master in Management number one globally for 14 consecutive years through 2024. Cohort of roughly 70 students; consistently feeds top consulting firms and corporate strategy roles in Zurich, Frankfurt, and London.
- MBA (full-time) — One-year intensive MBA with a small cohort (roughly 60 to 70 students). Reported median compensation in the CHF 130,000 to 160,000 range. Less internationally branded than LBS or INSEAD but strong inside the German-speaking corridor.
- Bachelor in Business Administration (BWL) — Conducted almost entirely in German. Selective for non-Swiss applicants and operates with quotas for Swiss, EU, and non-EU students. Foundation for the master's pipeline rather than a standalone international entry point.
