As part of a business program at Business School Lausanne (BSL), you will have the opportunity to specialize and become an expert in your field, network with other ambitious professionals from around the world, and continue to progress in your career while studying.
From the connections you make to the skills that you gain, your studies offer a number of benefits—both tangible and intangible. The most successful entrepreneurs and business leaders never stop learning. If you are debating whether or not a qualification in advanced business studies is for you, read on to discover three reasons why you might just be the ideal candidate.
You’re Ready to Take a Step Up and Want to Continue Working While Studying
The skills, knowledge, and connections you gain while studying advanced business studies are designed to help you take a step up in your career. If you’re dissatisfied in your current role and eager to progress, then this program could be for you.
The certificate of advanced studies at BSL is a good option for students who want to continue working while studying. The program can be completed part-time and offers flexibility so that students can balance study with work and personal obligations. This means that if you are already in a career, you can enhance your development without putting anything on hold. 
Part-time courses mean that you can balance work and study
You Want to Become an Expert in Your Field
While there is certainly no harm in developing a diverse skill set, as you progress throughout your career, you may want to specialize in one particular area. This can help you to be more valuable to companies and access new opportunities.
As part of the business program, students can choose to specialize in one of several different areas, including the following:
- Financial markets
- Corporate finance
- Business megatrends
- Management skills for entrepreneurs
- Quantitative skills for data analysis
- Leadership for systems thinking
This is ideal for young professionals who have less than three years of professional experience under their belt and know what aspect of the industry they are most interested in. However, even young professionals with no work experience can apply, so long as they have a Bachelor’s degree. Completing a certificate in advanced business studies can also offer a path to earning a Master’s degree in International Business on a part-time basis, which can be especially useful to students looking to become an expert in their field.
You Want to Build an International Network
One of the many advantages of studying at Business School Lausanne is that you will immediately be part of an international student community. In fact, more than 80% of students at BSL are international. This means that you will have the opportunity to connect with students from all around the world and develop your cross-cultural communication skills.
Connect with students and professionals from around the world
As our world becomes increasingly globalized, international connections and cross-cultural skills become even more important. This could enable you to access international opportunities, or excel with an international company. If you’re particularly interested in developing this skill set, then you might be an ideal fit for the program.
