Studying in Lausanne
"Lausanne is a great city to study in with lots of activities for after class. In the winter you can go skiing, in the summer you can swim in the lake, and during the weekends there are a lot of nice bars and clubs," Nicolas Kamp, 2010 BBA
Business School Lausanne is located in Switzerland, an ideal place to begin the learning experience that will lead to business success.
The banking and commercial infrastructure of Switzerland is known and respected throughout the world. Many companies have chosen the country as the site for their headquarters, and these companies are always looking for dynamic, young individuals to join their international teams.
In addition to BSL, Lausanne is also home to IMD (International Institute for Management Development) and EHL (Ecole Hôteliére de Lausanne). Together they have established a worldwide reputation for Lausanne as a leading centre for undergraduate and graduate management education. The three schools complement each other by:
- IMD focusing on corporate executives
- EHL focusing on hotel management
- BSL focusing on entrepreneurs.
Several members and resident executives of IMD have obtained their doctoral degrees at Business School Lausanne. After graduation at BSL, our Alumni have continued their learning process at some of the world’s finest educational institutes.
Switzerland's reputation for stability and tolerance comes not only from the fact that it is the centre for world organisations such as WHO, UNHCR, ILO, but also from the attitude of the Swiss people. This creates an environment in which everyone can feel safe; allowing you to get on with your studies without having to worry about strikes, civil unrest or discrimination.
Lausanne is 35 minutes from Geneva and its international airport. Some of the best skiing in Europe is less than one hour away. As might be expected in a city that is home to the International Olympic Committee, Lausanne has extensive local sporting and recreational facilities.
