Testimonial Bachelor of Business Administration

"In retrospect it was a good decision to enroll for a BBA study at SBS Swiss Business School in Zurich. Coming from one of the International Schools located in the Zurich area I appreciated very much the international environment offered by SBS Swiss Business School to its students.

During my studies I enjoyed the cultural diversity of SBS' teaching staff which taught me to look at things from different angles and to consider different points of view. I also viewed it a big advantage that classes at SBS tend to be smaller than is the case with state universities and lager business schools. As a result, the learning process was very focused and efficient. The lecturers were always easily accessible and ready to help with further explanations and discussions.

Finally, when I started to apply for jobs I was positively surprised by the good standing SBS Swiss Business School enjoys in the market. It took me only a few applications to find a job in wealth management, the area I was most interested in. All in all I would say that my studies at SBS Swiss Business School were a good investment"

"My name is Cecilia Enhörning and I'm a former SBS Swiss Business School Bachelor and soon to be MBA graduate. My major was International Management and throughout my studies I realized that I had a passion for Finance/Banking as well as Marketing and the more people-oriented subjects.

I started applying for jobs and was especially interested in searching for internships within the banking industry. After two weeks of searching I got an interview at the Deutsche Bank as a marketing intern for the Equity Derivatives Sales department in Zurich city. The interview went well and I will being my job in assisting the marketing for structured products, ETC's, ETF's and db funds.

I appreciate what the staff and administration at SBS Swiss Business School has helped me to achieve and will never forget the good times shared. "
