Bachelor of Science in Business Administration

You begin your business education in the first semester of your freshman year at SBS, and you distribute your study of business over six semesters. As a freshman, you’ll jump right into the basics, which positions you for the advanced options you’ll choose from later. SBS Swiss Business School’s undergraduate curriculum is designed to give you the maximum degree of choice and flexibility, while also providing insights into all the major fields and functions of management. You will take business courses from many different disciplines and have the opportunity to concentrate in one or several major fields.
