The Swiss-International MBA is based on a long track-record of MBA programmes at FHNW that have been delivered on campus since 1992. By contrast, however, the Swiss-International MBA is conducted online and set-up as a blended learning programme. You can join anytime given a rolling intake.

The online format includes webinars and virtual classrooms (70% of content). To ensure personal interactions and international networking, virtual studying is complemented by International Study Trips of your choice (30% of content). These trips focus on actual business case studies and visits to enterprises from small to large, start-ups, (non-)governmental bodies, supranational agencies, partner universities and others. In the course of your studies, you join three International Study Trips:

  • One in Switzerland
  • Two in other regions of choice (subject to schedule, may include Europe, Asia, Latin America, Middle East and Africa)

Examples of focus destinations include Switzerland/Europe, Colombia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Uganda, United Arab Emirates and Vietnam. More information on International Study Trips and upcoming destinations is available here.

To account for the international context, programme language is English.

The Swiss-International MBA is tailor-made for innovative managers, entrepreneurs and experts interested in international business and cultures. The programme offers you the unique opportunity to combine key aspects relevant for tomorrow’s key people in business:

  • Obtain a 90 ECTS Master’s degree from an AACSB-accredited Swiss business school
  • Gain highly valuable first-hand insights into international business ecosystems and cultures during International Study Trips (Switzerland/Europe and across Asia, Latin America, Middle East and Africa)
  • Work on real-world case studies in the context of chosen focus regions
  • Build a strong international network to decision-makers and experts
