Program Duration
Full-time students can earn an Undergraduate Certificate in 9 to 12 months (3 quarters of 20 credits or 4 quarters of 15 credits), depending on the number of courses taken per quarter, course selection, and planning. Completing half the typical course load means doubling the program duration. The more flexible working hours, the faster students can finish. Students are considered part-time if taking 6 or fewer courses per quarter. Part-time studies are 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. Our modular course design and program structure enable optimal education planning.
Due to the program's flexibility, start dates are available throughout the year in October, November, January, February, April, May, July, and August. All campuses follow the same academic calendar.
Study Destinations
Students can transfer between campuses quarterly 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 shorter study-abroad experiences, students can join seminar courses taught by visiting professors at various campuses throughout the year.

Accreditation
Upon successful completion, students receive an international private Undergraduate Certificate in Business Studies, awarded by the school’s headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland, based on the recommendation of the faculty at the local campuses where credits were earned.
