BSc (Hons) Business with Management: Thrive from Lausanne, Switzerland

Build your next chapter without leaving the life you have built in Lausanne. The BSc (Hons) Business with Management, offered online in exclusive partnership between the University of Salford and Robert Kennedy College, gives you the opportunity to develop business knowledge and management skills from your current location. Its ideas and frameworks can be applied across industries and international settings.

Earn a British degree with international recognition

A British degree can be a valuable credential as you pursue opportunities beyond one city or country. This programme awards a degree from the University of Salford, giving your achievement a clear academic identity to share with employers and professional networks internationally.

As you study business and management, you can develop a broader perspective on how organisations make decisions, lead people and respond to change. Whether your ambitions lie in Switzerland or further afield, that knowledge can help you approach new challenges with confidence.

Complete your degree 100% online in as little as 24 months

You do not need to relocate or commute to a campus to work towards this qualification. The programme can be completed 100% online, allowing you to study while continuing your life and responsibilities in Lausanne.

Completion in as little as 24 months offers a focused route towards your goal. It is an opportunity to turn the time you already spend planning your future into steady, meaningful progress.

Study on a schedule that works for you

The programme does not require you to be online at specific times or on specific dates. You can engage with your studies when it suits your schedule, whether that means an early morning before work or a quieter moment later in the week.

That flexibility can make a difference when professional and personal commitments change. You can organise your learning around your life rather than arranging every part of your life around a fixed online timetable.

Keep learning wherever life takes you

Your studies can travel with you. Whether you are at home in Lausanne, elsewhere in Switzerland or on a trip abroad, the online programme lets you keep working towards your degree from wherever you are.

Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. A journey or a period without a reliable connection does not have to interrupt your learning: your materials can be ready when you are.

Show what you know through open-book assessments

Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. These give you the opportunity to draw on your learning and available resources as you develop your responses.

This approach encourages you to work thoughtfully with ideas rather than rely solely on recall under exam conditions. It is a chance to practise interpreting information, building an argument and communicating your reasoning.

Learn with faculty shaped by renowned universities

Your tutors and faculty bring academic experience that includes graduation from world-renowned institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis. Their varied backgrounds can add depth to your learning experience.

Studying with faculty who have followed different academic paths can expose you to fresh perspectives on business and management. It can also encourage you to question assumptions and consider more than one way to approach a challenge.

Join a student community spanning more than 130 countries

Business rarely stops at national borders, and neither does this learning community. Studying alongside students from over 130 countries gives you opportunities to encounter different experiences, viewpoints and ambitions as you develop your own.

Alumni work for a wide range of organisations, including Université de Lausanne, Nestlé, UBS, Chubb, Zurich, Novartis, Roche, International School of Central Switzerland, Institut Monte Rosa, Institut Florimont, the United Nations, Google, ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony.

Plan your payments with interest-free instalments

Investing in your education is easier to plan when you can see how payments fit into your budget. Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments.

This option lets you spread the cost over time while concentrating on your studies and your goals. You can plan your payments alongside your other commitments without interest being added to the instalments.

Put your learning to work in Lausanne

Lausanne and the surrounding region offer a stimulating setting for graduates interested in life sciences, healthcare and innovation. Business and management knowledge can support work across these sectors, from coordinating teams and projects to understanding how organisations bring ideas to market.

The city is also closely associated with international sport and hospitality. For graduates drawn to these fields, the programme’s broad business perspective can be relevant to operations, marketing, service delivery and the management of organisations that engage with people from around the world.

With its universities, research community and connections to international organisations, the Lausanne area brings together people working across education, technology and professional services. Whatever direction you choose, studying business with management can help you develop adaptable ways of thinking that you can apply locally and internationally.
