Language requirements
The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration is offered in German only. Non-native speakers of German are required to provide evidence of German language proficiency corresponding to at least level C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for languages.
Educational qualifications
Prospective students with Swiss educational qualifications are referred to the German version of this page . Prospective students with a foreign educational qualification should note that the Swiss equivalence of your qualification will be assessed during the application process.
In accordance with the Lisbon Convention, non-Swiss European educational qualifications are generally recognised if they are equivalent to a Swiss Matura.
If the equivalence of the educational qualification with the Swiss Matura cannot be clearly established, the entrance qualification may be verified by means of an entrance examination. Applicants may also be required to submit a certificate of admission from a recognised university or university of applied sciences in their country of origin.
Work experience
Admission to the programme requires at least one year of full-time equivalent work experience in the field of study.
