The foundation of any good career is a solid knowledge base. We live in an era in
which information is instantaneously available. Education is no longer about
acquiring information but rather developing key skills and learning how to evolve
constantly with the world around us.
After three years with us, you will walk away with more than a degree. You will have
learned about yourself and how to communicate with people from a diverse range
of backgrounds. You will have continued to grow and develop, professionally and
personally, and seize the new opportunities available to you. Dont forget the value
of your youth, time and an unwritten future. These are the luxuries established pro-
fessionals do not have.
This is your moment, and your resilient attitude will set the tone for your career. We
will help you to be entrepreneurial, to think for yourself, to learn from your mistakes
and, most of all, to take advantage of the opportunities that will arise. These attrib-
utes are ingrained into the EU Business School DNA. The rest is up to you.
You will face many challenges as you push boundaries within yourself and in the
world around you. You will not be alone - we will accompany you along your path to
success. Behind you, you will have a network of over 26,000 alumni and business
professionals there to encourage you, inspire you and guide you as you establish
yourself in the world of business. So if youre looking for the best chance at a future
of endless possibilities:

Living in Switzerland
As cities popular to both study and work in, finding accommodation in Geneva and
Montreux can be a real challenge. Therefore, we encourage all students to begin their
housing search while waiting for their final enrollment documents.
Student dorms
Living in student dorms allows you to meet new
people and gives you a structured living environment
without having to worry about household chores and
the stress of dealing with rental agencies. Living close
to other students helps you adapt to the city and your
new lifestyle.
