We Might Be the First International Business School With a Dedicated Focus on Cross Border High Finance & Investments Transactions and an In-Residence Instruction Led by Practitioners
Swiss
Finance, School of Business believes that a modern business
school should act like a modern business. That is: experience in all major continents, linking local insights with global institutional
values, and gathering ideas from many countries for maximum innovation.
Because we are an international community, every time a student asks a question, collaborates on a presentation, or travel to a new country for research, he or she is experiencing the Swiss Finance international advantage.
Our international outlook is reflected in numerous ways. Here are a few:
International Students and Faculty
Swiss Finance, School of Business students come from every part of the world. We regularly have students from locations as diverse as Mongolia and Morocco; however most applicants are from the Americas, Europe and Asia, with Africa and the Middle East winning increasing share in the incoming classes. Because we receive applications from many qualified applicants each year, we are able to build a class of exceptional leaders from around the world. Such a profile means that each student interacts and works closely with peers from many other parts of the world.
Our faculty come from equally diverse backgrounds. Every member of the faculty has lived, taught, and worked in numerous countries; however, their professional training and focus of excellence has always been the United States (Wall Street and the Silicon Valley), or the European hub of finance - the "City" of London.
Modules and Facilities Around the World
Swiss Finance is an institution with unparalleled international orientation designed to assist our students and alumni with opportunities around the world, and thrive on the knowledge related to the fast-paced changes in the global capital markets that are inter-linked. Like the world's leading international businesses and investment banks, we have knowledge centers in the Americas, Europe and Asia.
An integral component of Swiss Finance educational philosophy is the belief that students learn best by doing. Our unique curriculum helps students learn how to turn what they learn in the classroom and through self-directed research into action. Students may even have some freedom to design self-directed modules that can be completed anywhere in the world. This allows them to focus more on the regions and industries in which they will work upon graduation.
Practitioner Faculty
Swiss Finance, School of Business professors are among the most adventurous lecturers you will ever meet. Unlike almost all traditional business and finance professors, our instructors are active practitioners in their fields. This means, for example, that your professor of international investing may have traveled to 70+ countries in the last few years to analyze investment conditions. Think about it for a moment: 70+ countries! This is no small achievement and you may in fact not find such broad experience at any other business school in the world. Core faculty are seasoned Wall Street veterans, who when not teaching, conduct on-the-ground capital markets research around the world. This knowledge is immediately incorporated into the curriculum.
Swiss Finance faculty are on the front lines of entrepreneurial finance bringing the most cutting-edge practices into the classroom.
Valuing the Local and the Global
Recently a billboard advertisement for a major bank read, "Think Global Act Local." This sounds true but is precisely wrong. What you need to do is the reverse, i.e. think local and act global. You have to learn the local customs for every major market you would be investing in, in order to avoid all sorts of mistakes, so you can eventually turn a profit. And you need to think and act big and global. Swiss Finance and our students understand that.
