OUR PHILOSOPHY

Across the globe, Switzerland is associated with hospitality, precision, cleanliness, and good service. Swiss International University represents European quality at fair prices. Anyone studying with us not only gains a certificate that is backed up by the most important quality labels in the business industry but also leaves with skills and attributes that are appreciated all over the world and are very much in demand.

However, theory alone is insufficient unless skills are practiced until they become second nature. We, therefore, place great importance on practical aspects. We offer you part-time study to give you the possibility to work and gain more work experience. Up to now, our students have always succeeded in finding a place during their studies or before graduating.

Students undertake paid work in banks, companies, hotel management, and reception during their training, where they gain insight into the reality of everyday working life.

They are prepared meticulously for this challenge. German is therefore firmly integrated into the teaching programs. As an option, we also offer the French and Spanish languages sometimes. Besides this, we instruct our students about how to conduct themselves during interviews and help them to compile their job application documents…

In the everyday life of the school, they are being trained naturally into the characteristics required for the world of work. We are certain it is only possible for students to learn effectively in an environment where they feel comfortable. We, therefore, foster a friendly atmosphere and personal support. We behave in a tolerant and respectful manner and expect this in turn from our students. We ensure that nobody in our care is discriminated against on the grounds of race, skin color, religion, origin, gender, or age.

However, it is not only among the students that open, online intercultural exchanges take place. During their study, there are various opportunities to come into contact with local students. It is therefore not long before students begin to feel our online academy is 2nd home.

At the same time, students, as well as their families, can be confident that we ourselves are fulfilling the qualities we are putting across.

We endeavor to serve as an example for our students, in that we are always prepared to subject our services to critical appraisal and to make improvements.
