Program Duration

Part-time students can earn a Graduate Certificate in 3 to 12 months, depending on the number of courses taken per quarter, course selection, and planning. Completing half the typical course load means doubling the program duration. More flexible working hours allow for a faster course completion. Students are considered part-time if taking 6 or fewer courses per quarter. Part-time study is available only to students with a national passport or residence permit.

Kick-start your studies up to 8 times per year

Students can choose from multiple starting dates in fall, winter, spring, and summer each academic year. The program’s modular design allows for optimal education planning.

Due to the program's flexibility, start dates are available throughout the year in October, November, January, February, April, May, July, or August. All campuses follow the same academic calendar.

Study Destinations

Students can transfer between campuses each quarter with guaranteed program compatibility. Our quarter-based academic calendar enables a continuous study-abroad experience across Europe and Asia.

We have 9 global campuses in Amsterdam, Antwerp, Barcelona, Brussels, Geneva, Madrid, Milan, Tokyo, and Zurich, all centrally located in vibrant city centers. Students can transfer between campuses for one or more quarters or choose a single campus. For those preferring shorter stays abroad, seminar courses taught by visiting professors are available at several campuses throughout the year.

Accreditation

Upon successful completion of the study program, students receive an international private Graduate Certificate in Business Administration awarded by the school's headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland, based on the recommendation of the faculty of the local campuses where credits were earned.
