University of Zurich

University of Zurich was founded in 1833 as a public university. It has more than 27,500 students (largest in Switzerland), seven faculties covering more than 100 different  subject areas. The University offers Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD programs, and a wide variety of continuing education programs.

The Master of Advanced Studies (MAS), UZH in European and Asian Business Management (70 ECTS) offered by the UZH Faculty of Business, Economics and Informatics, is the leading Executive Education master program at university level with a modular structure. Upon completing the program, participants have acquired comprehensive, practice-related knowledge in international business management focused on Europe and Asia. In addition, they will gain crucial language skills either in German or an Asian language. The first part of the program imparts extensive knowledge in economics and business administration, while the second part deals with the specific market and cultural characteristics of Europe and Asia. Moreover, participants apply and deepen their knowledge in a paid mandatory internship lasting at least six months at an international company in Europe or Asia. They therefore become familiar with both European and Asian business cultures and can act as cross-cultural mediators. To complete the program, participants submit a final thesis, which they defend in a disputation.

The commitment to fostering diversity is a point of pride for us, as demonstrated by our current cohort, which comprises over 60% female Master's candidates representing nine (9) different nationalities.
