SBS is the institution dedicated to business education with internationally established reputation. For example, its rankings among top MBA distance programs at Financial Times speak for themselves.

The educational outcomes are precious, and I am applying them daily in the field of TIME technologies (Telecommunications, IT, Media and Entertainment).

Graduation from SBS EMBA was for sure one of the enablers for my professional undertakings, and I am warmly recommending it not only to my acquaintances, but to my close colleagues and friends as well.

SBS was a must to my career development. After 7 years working in the banking industry in a managerial position I started a MBA at SBS and it was definitely the right choice.

The knowledge and skills I got there, the multi cultural approaches of negotiation, the global view of the market, not to mention the great friends I got there were only few of the reasons why SBS was essential to my professional and personal life.

I just got the best job I could imagine in the financial markets and this course was mandatory to get this position. I strongly recommend this course to all of them who are willing to grow professionally.

In order to get business people attention, you need to be different. And I got credibility of being "different" by completing MBA studies at Swiss Business School, without changing myself, just adding value from this highly international institution. But this is only the form, the "packaging".

What really matters is the enriched substance one gets from colleagues, lecturers and cases and someone else's experiences..

And I consider myself a very rich man in that aspect.

I always knew one day I’d find the perfect school that would finally allow me to get my degree, although it definitely seemed a mission impossible at first. I needed a college that would and fit my fully loaded schedule (full time job and working over time), and be flexible enough to match my little finances available to cover the cost of studies. SBS fulfilled all these criteria. To top it all, SBS offered me the opportunity to complete my studies in less than a year! Where else could I find this perfect match? I never knew I could achieve so much in such a short period of time!

From the administrative staff, to the multi-cultured students, to the teachers to the dean, all contributed to my success by bringing out the best in me and by continuously infusing me with the right motivation techniques to never give up no matter how hard it got at times. They all made sure you sat in those classes to succeed. The sessions were insightful, interactive, and practical. With classes ranging anywhere between human resources and international strategic management, SBS never stopped amazing me with its fully loaded educational program.

I am happy to report that to this day, I use the material we were taught at SBS in my daily life in one way or the other, yet, to be a proud holder of a bachelor degree in international business administration from SBS still surpasses it all! The day I was given that certificate was one of the happiest days of my life –one I won’t be forgetting all too soon! Indeed, I knew nothing could stop me from aiming even higher now, and SBS made it possible! In fact, a promotion is floating in the air – wish me luck! Thanks, SBS!

After working at Cargolux for three years, I felt that I needed to go back to school and get my Master degree and enhance my knowledge about business and entrepreneurship. Coincidentally, thanks to my business associates, I found SBS Swiss Business School. Thereafter, I had my first interview with the Academic Dean Dr. Bert Wolfs, who told me that SBS would change my life.

I not only expanded my knowledge in business but also learning about people, culture, openness in society and mostly my own confidence in progress in my future career. Therefore, I thank SBS and the staff for giving me this opportunity as well as encouraging me, and always being supportive in accomplishing my goals.

My name is Cecilia Enhörning and I'm a former SBS Swiss Business School Bachelor and soon to be MBA graduate. My major was International Management and throughout my studies I realized that I had a passion for Finance/Banking as well as Marketing and the more people-oriented subjects. 

I started applying for jobs and was especially interested in searching for internships within the banking industry. After two weeks of searching I got an interview at the Deutsche Bank as a marketing intern for the Equity Derivatives Sales department in Zurich city. The interview went well and I will being my job in assisting the marketing for structured products, ETC's, ETF's and db funds.

Therefore i value the experience at SBS for having provided me with a business and management view of things. Having finished my secondary studies I intend to work in the energy industry, focusing on sustainable solutions for replacing fossil fuel based energy

The dean, professors and administrative staff were always striving to meet the highest possible service quality. It is the dedication and commitment of their team that sets SBS apart from other schools.

In retrospect it was a good decision to enroll for a BBA study at SBS Swiss Business School in Zurich. Coming from one of the International Schools located in the Zurich area I appreciated very much the international environment offered by SBS Swiss Business School to its students.

During my studies I enjoyed the cultural diversity of SBS’ teaching staff which taught me to look at things from different angles and to consider different points of view. I also viewed it a big advantage that classes at SBS tend to be smaller than is the case with state universities and lager business schools. As a result, the learning process was very focused and efficient. The lecturers were always easily accessible and ready to help with further explanations and discussions.

Finally, when I started to apply for jobs I was positively surprised by the good standing SBS Swiss Business School enjoys in the market. It took me only a few applications to find a job in wealth management, the area I was most interested in. All in all I would say that my studies at SBS Swiss Business School were a good investment
