Investing in Your Future with an MBA

Pursuing an MBA is a lifetime investment in yourself and your future. Therefore, it is essential to make a well-considered decision and to plan your finances carefully. Importantly, we do not want the MBA to be out of reach for ambitious and talented applicants who can demonstrate a clear financial need due to socioeconomic background, salary levels in your country of work, or income and savings held in volatile and weak currencies.

The following information is designed to give you an overview on fees, scholarships, and financial aid. More detailed information will be available if you receive an offer.

Fees and Payment Terms

  • An additional fee of CHF 100 is payable during the online application process.
  • Once you have accepted an offer, you must pay an enrolment fee of CHF 10,000, which is deducted from the total cost to secure your seat

The application and enrolment fees are non-refundable and must be paid upon application submission and upon enrolment, respectively. The tuition fee must be paid in two equal instalments, due on 30 June 2025 and 31 January 2026.

If a participant receives financial assistance through a scholarship or a loan from the MBA student loan programme, this amount will be deducted from the total tuition fee. The remaining amount must be paid in the above-mentioned instalments.

Scholarships and Financial Aid

If you believe you may qualify for scholarships or financial aid, we encourage you to contact our Talent Acquisition Team. We understand that discussing personal finances can be sensitive, and we handle these conversations with the utmost confidentiality.

Our scholarships and financial aid programs are designed to ensure that top talent can access the MBA, regardless of financial circumstances.
