Your Path to Success

At Swiss School of Management, however, fundamentals are

only the beginning. Excellent management skills are learnt more

by experience and observation than in the classroom, which is

why you will have many opportunities to interact with and to

learn from experienced and successful business leaders in the

country. You will learn to approach problems with creativity and

disciplined thought. You will also benefit from the diverse

perspectives of colleagues who hail from around the globe.

Who we are?

At Swiss School of Management, we firmly

believe in a practical approach to enter the

ever changing business world. The school’s

special atmosphere is generated from a blend

of dedicated and caring faculty, a small but

selected international student body, and a

sound academic program designated to

prepare students to lead the world of business

and meet the challenges of the future. If your

passion is to lead organizations to impact the

world in significant and meaningful ways, we

want to hear from you.

I welcome your interest in management

education and thank you for considering

Swiss School of Management.

Life without Limits…Our Vision

The vision of Swiss School of Management is “To be recognized

as the Swiss International Business School, nurturing talent and

teaching the typical Swiss – way of behaviour and attitude in a

multi-national, multi-cultural learning environment. It will be a

place of opportunity for those who seek knowledge, strive

towards excellence and seek a better life for themselves and

their fellow citizens.”

What we are doing…Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a Swiss Quality Education in an

environment characterized by close interaction among

students, faculty, staff and the global business community.

We provide our students with practical knowledge, skills and

attributes - the global business competencies required for

leadership and success in demanding careers in the global

economy.

Awakening Interest & Enthusiasm…Our Teaching Methodology

In teaching it is the method and not the content that is the

message. At Swiss School of Management, you’ll benefit from a

range of teaching methods all geared towards awakening

interest and kindle enthusiasm. We believe that this is the sure

way to impact knowledge easily and successfully.

All of us do not have equal talent, but all of us should have an equal

opportunity to develop our talent. At Swiss School of Management,

we employ learning approaches on various levels within different

fields of study aimed not only at providing academic knowledge,

but also holistic personal development of our students.

Through our teaching methods, we strive to help our students

develop their personalities as managers or entrepreneurs.

To this end, further qualifications are required, such as:

charisma, leadership capabilities, decision making courage,

knowledge of the human mind and its nature, motivation,

intuition, business ethics, and the fluent mastery of additional

languages besides English.

Our Vision and Mission

Page 6: Swiss School of Management - dli957vb6jcji.cloudfront.netdli957vb6jcji.cloudfront.net/images/listingphotos/pdf/2pdf...as the Swiss International Business School, nurturing talent and

pg. 4

Swiss School of Management helps students develop these human

qualities with the intent to bring out their best personality

resources by using the best and most creative learning and

teaching methodologies. Practical appliance and network-building

are also emphasized. Our range of teaching methods includes-

theoretical review, class discussion, case study, simulation, real

time problem solving session, role play and group assignments.

A Journey of DiscoveryLanguages

A new language opens up a whole new culture. A foreign

language gives us access to another culture, and our lives take on

a new dimension. The great German poet, Johann Wolfgang von

Goethe, said in 1827: "Whoever is not acquainted with foreign

languages knows nothing of his own." Seen like that, learning a

language is almost comparable to a journey of discovery.

Switzerland has four official languages: German, Italian, French

and Romanch. At Swiss School of Management, we offer you the

opportunity to learn two of these; German and Italian, while

acquiring more security in English, our language of instruction.

Small is BeautifulWhy Swiss Education?

Switzerland’s reputation of excellence is due to a highly qualified

labour force performing highly skilled work. The main areas

include micro technology, hi-tech, biotechnology and

pharmaceuticals, as well as banking, hospitality and insurance

know-how. This ongoing striving for excellence and perfection, has

catapulted this small country to become a global player.

Switzerland is regarded as one of the safest and cleanest

countries in the world. It is ideally located in the heart of Europe

with access to all major European cosmopolitan cities. Swiss

School of Management’s mission is to represent these values of

Switzerland and carry them out into the world.

At SSM, I found more than just a business school. As a participant,you will immediately be involved and become part of the academy'soperations to sustain quality and community. At the same time, youenjoy the diversity of culture within the student body.

The Eternal City ROME

It's hard to say what you'll find most breathtaking about

the eternal city - the arrogant opulence of the Vatican,

the timelessness of the Forum, the top speed of a Fiat Bambino,

the millions of cats in the Colosseum, trying to cross a major

intersection, or the bill for your latte.

However, Swiss School of Management has chosen this city with

its strong historical background to carry out its global expansion.

A Small yet Big CommunityStudent Life

Your educational path through Swiss School of Management will

be a memorable life changing experience. Your life and learning

within and beyond the classroom will be a truly wonderful

experience. It will be enriching, exciting, fun, magical and

priceless. You will have the opportunity to explore the world, learn

more about yourself and develop close ties with other people. The

experience will help shape and refine your personality.

Swiss School of Management is big enough to offer you the

prospects to realize your dreams, but also we are small enough to

keep close in touch with you, in order to know how you get along,

and offer support with every progressive step you make towards

realization of your dreams.

We are simply a small big community. There are no other words to

describe this unique environment within Swiss School of

Management.

Becoming part of Swiss School of ManagementWhat we look for in you

Swiss School of Management has high academic standards and

seeks to maintain these standards by recruiting high calibre

students. In deciding which candidates should be offered a place,

we look for evidence of academic knowledge and ability in aspects

of English Literature, Mathematics and Social Sciences that are

relevant to business studies, and interest in the subject of business

and management.

Entry is competitive, and we do our best to make offers to the

applicants who are the closest match to our selection criteria on

the basis of all the information available to us. This includes

mitigating circumstances relating to exam results, educational

history and any other factors affecting a candidate’s performance.

I never thought that I could ever come to Europe to do my Bachelor Degree in BusinessAdministration. People from my country usually don't get easily an entry visa for Italy.SSM has a reputation of a very serious institution at the Italian Embassies around theglobe. My visa got processed within a short time. SSM also arranged accommodation,health insurance, a bank account and very quickly I got my stay permit. Today I can'twait to finish my program, to start applying for a good job.
