Foreword and Welcome

Dear Students

When you come to our School of Business you will join nearly 2000 other Business students in a variety of programmes and courses who originate from nearly 60 different countries. As the School of Busi-ness with the highest number of student exchanges in Switzerland, offering both Bachelor and Master degrees (also) taught in English by professors who work in multi-national teams on trans-national pro-grammes and research projects you will be hosted by a leading house in internationalisation. We are justifiably proud of this competitive edge.

Having this competitive edge is largely due to the variety and quality of the 160 student exchange and 60 lecturer exchange contracts we maintain, the degree programmes taught in English and with inter-national content.

However, it is also due to our very Swiss tradition of practical appli-cation. In all our activities the proximity to business and enterprise is vital. Each year, next to numerous research and consulting projects for external clients lead by our faculty, there are 350 student projects. These ensure a constant transfer of know-how between lecturers, business, students and researchers.

To ensure we maintain this competitive edge, development is crucial. Thus we have launched two new Bologna Master of Science pro-grammes in English (International Management and Business Infor-mation Systems) and further such degrees are in the pipeline. We continue to expand our present international cooperations (dual de-grees with universities in China, Vietnam, Germany, France, Russia and England, our accreditation to teach Microeconomics of Competi-tiveness as developed by Professor Michael Porter of the Harvard Business School, student seminars and project weeks abroad, a busi-ness summer tour for undergraduates and another for academics) and currently seek further international accreditation. Our Executi-ve Education courses, covering all topics within business, admini-stration and management, now number over 150.

The fostering of our competitive edge involves you as international or exchange students. We are fully aware that in order to remain leaders in internationalisation we require your presence, your multi-cultural approaches to study and work, your mix of languages and back-grounds and your contribution to our campus culture. We trust you will continue to profit from our vision, modern facilities and state-of-the-art education with practical application.

All you want to know

About SwitzerlandWhen you think of Switzerland the following key words might crop up: Alps, middle of Europe, watches, chocolate, skiing, cows, Swiss Army knives, neutrality, Red Cross, yodelling. It is a small but extre-mely diverse country where you will find high-tech precision indus-trial leaders next to rustic farmers who still churn their own butter in the Alps just like Heidi’s grandfather. It is a landlocked country that wins the Americas Cup in high-sea sailing. It has only 7 million inhabitants but manages to nurture four official languages, each sub-divided into dozens of dialects.Switzerland is clean, peaceful, orderly. Trains run on time, schools provide quality education, the natives tend to be reticent but friend-ly and will generally be very pleased to practise their English. While prospective students might be less immediately interested in the suc-cessful enterprises, complex democracy or famous bank system – the spectacular scenery, the culture and variety of outdoor sports will certainly appeal. Switzerland enjoys a mostly moderate climate with four distinct seasons. In the winter temperatures are around freezing point during the night and especially in mountainous areas there is a blanket of snow for at least three months. The summers can be relatively hot, with mid-summer temperatures of over 30 degrees centigrade.

About the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern SwitzerlandOn 1 January 2006 the universities of applied sciences of four cantons (Basel-City, Basel-Region, Aargau and Solothurn) merged to become one of the largest UAS’s in Switzerland: the University of Ap-plied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland. This state-accredited uni-versity still fulfils tasks in the four areas of undergraduate education, contin uing education, consulting and applied research & develop-ment but can now offer a greatly enhanced infrastructure, choice of programmes and facilities. There are currently nine schools: Applied Psychology; Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geomatics; Art & De-sign; Music; Life Sciences, Teacher Education; Social Work; Enginee-ring and Business each of which operates between 3–12 institutes. Over 7,500 undergraduate students are currently enrolled over the three campuses.

About the School of BusinessThe School of Business is now one of the largest departments in the newly-merged institution and operates from three campuses: in Ol-ten (headquarters), Basel and Brugg. The School of Business remains a leading house especially in the area of post-graduate executive education which ensures a dynamic synergy between operative enter-prises and organisations and the lecturers and students at the school.Currently there are four Bachelor of Science programmes: Business Administration (in English or in German), International Business Ma-nagement and Business Information Technology. All these program-mes (3 years fulltime, 4 years parttime) are Bologna conform and of-fer between two and three majors.Exchange students are recommended to select a programme of their interest and then restrict selection of courses to one campus where this is offered. While distances between the campuses are reason able, timetabling rarely allows sufficient time for transfers.

Detailed course descriptions are available as a pdf on our homepage

www.fhnw.ch/business/international. This enables students to select courses for their

Learning Agreement.

Post-graduate students interested in Masters of Science, Executive Masters or post-graduate diplomas and courses should contact the secretariat for detailed information: [email protected]

About FormalitiesEU citizens from Western Europe do not need a visa: only a valid passport is required. EU citizens from Eastern Europe and non-EU citizens should contact the Swiss Embassy or Consulate about whether entry permits and visas are required. Any costs incurred must be paid by the student.Generally, your studies here at the School of Business will be permit-ted on the basis of a student visa. This does not permit you to work in Switzerland. If you are interested in completing a practical trai-neeship or working in this country, please contact your student advi-sor or the International Office. However, obtaining permission to work in Switzerland is generally complicated and not easy.

About moneyCurrencyThe Swiss Franc is the national currency. Many larger shops and or-ganisations accept Euros. All major credit cards are accepted.

ERASMUS grantsSwitzerland, as a passive partner in the ERASMUS scheme, follows exactly the same rules and regulations as those operating in the EU. Thus for institutions with which we have signed a bilateral contract, tuition fees are normally waived and mutual academic recognition is ensured. The normal ERASMUS grants operate: the only difference is that payment is administered via the Swiss government rather than via Brussels.

Cost of livingThe monthly budget for studying in Switzerland, including food, ac-commodation, transport, books and entertainment, should be in the region of CHF 1,000. However, should you have plans to do extensive travelling in the country or indulge in activities such as skiing, you should budget an extra amount for this.

Health, accident and personal liability insuranceStudents are strongly advised to take out their own insurance policies to cover health, accident and personal liability in Switzerland or check that their current policies are valid for Switzerland. Since 1 June 2004 the new EKV-card (credit card format) is also accepted and should be shown in case of treatment at hospitals or doctors’ practices. Please contact the International Office if further information is necessary. They will also help you if you decide to take out Swiss insurance for your period of study here.


About admission, registration, fees, programme costsFor non-exchange students: If you have passed the business bacca-laureate you can enrol at the University of Applied Sciences North-western Switzerland, School of Business in Olten, Basel or Brugg without taking an examination. You begin your studies immediately after concluding the appropriate vocational baccalaureate. With the other types of vocational baccalaureate, you will generally have to complete one year of practical experience before starting the course. Please enquire about the possibilities. Professionals without a voca-tional baccalaureate must pass an entrance examination. With a high school baccalaureate and one year of practical experience you can en-rol at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland, School of Business without taking an examination. We can advise and support you in planning and/or finding a placement.Have you mastered a range of different activities and experiences? You do not fit into the educational categories above? Please enquire about the individual possibilities for enrolling which are open to you.

English-taught ProgrammesIf you are applyng to attend courses taught in English you must pro-vide proof of proficiency in that language: Cambridge First/Advanced, TOEFL 550 (paper based) or 80 (internet based), IELTS 6, ELP B1 or a personally signed letter from a lecturer from the home university confirming the applicant’s proficiency in academic English.

Switzerland does not have the full campus system and many stu-dents live at home during their studies. Our central location however ensures access to a metropolitan infrastructure and your student ac-commodation also enables you to cook meals at home.

Further information about the city can be found under: www.olten.ch

About accommodationOur International Office will either organise accommodation for you or help you find the sort of accommodation you seek.

The wide River Aare flows through its midst, to the northwest lie the Jura mountains and on a clear day you can see the Alps to the south.

Campus Olten


Over half the Business Administration (International Management) or Betriebsökonomie graduates work in service companies (exclu-ding trade): these are predominantly banks, insurance companies, asset management companies, business consul tants and trusts; the self-employed represent a small minority. In our region an over-pro-portionate number also work in industrial companies. Most Business Administration (International Management) or Betriebsökonomie graduates are active in more than one division of a company: finance and accounting and marketing/advertising/sales currently account for more than two to three times all the other divisions mentioned.

Studying AbroadIn order to gain international experience first hand it is mandatory for students of Business Administration (International Management) to study for at least one semester at a university abroad. Betriebs-ökonomie students are not obliged to study abroad – but over half of them do! Students are free to either choose from our partner institu-tions in Europe, Australasia, Asia or North and South America or sug-gest a destination of their own (subject to agreement). Skills which you will develop during the course– You have solid basic and specialized knowledge in your

chosen subject area as well as knowledge of related disciplines– You get both an overview of the social and historical context

of business studies and a thorough look at corporate organisation and structure

– You work efficiently, you can operate in a team and in conflict situations and you can monitor your own behaviour. As you study with students from around the world your intercultural competence is developed on a daily basis

– You are able to cope with heavy workloads and uncertainty (self-management!) and can adjust to new situations and requirements

And above all: you are always ready to learn and you are constantly prepared to acquire new knowledge and abilities!

Full course descriptions under: www.fhnw.ch/business/international

Business Information TechnologyEnterprises need reliable information and up-to-date knowledge to remain competitive and do daily business. For this purpose they uti-lise various information and communication systems.Business Information Technology graduates manage the productive application of such business information systems. They are the inter-faces between information technology and users and are able to ma-nage and successfully complete IT projects. Business Information Technology graduates merge skills and compe-tencies in information and communication technology with manage-ment skills. They are competent in all matters relating to information management, analysis of information services, data modelling, data administration and analysis, as well as IT security. Their knowledge of business and technology enables them to organise internal and ex-ternal business processes, to recognize optimisation potential and to support optimisation through application of appropriate informa-tion technology. They can evaluate technical and organisational solu-tion-options based on factors as costs, benefit and future potential.

Employment ProfileAs a successful Business Information Technology graduate you have an excellent chance of finding a position in various fields.– As consultant or project leader you contribute directly to business

value by developing corporate application systems, designing e-business solutions, introducing users to IT systems or advising organisations in appropriate utilisation of information systems.

– Taking over leading functions in IT departments you are respon-sible within organisations for the IT infrastructure and IT strategy.

Programme ProfileA central feature of Business Information Technology is the integra-tion of various areas of interest with their applications: Not only in content but also in didactical methodology, the practical application is stressed. IT subjects are combined with business topics to enable a deeper insight into the connections between these two fields. In the fourth semester students work in small groups on a real industrial project enabling especially a consolidation of methodology and so-cial skills. Information exchange between students as well as coach-ing from supervising lecturers support effective learning.

Studying AbroadMany of our students elect to profit from our excellent selection of in-ternational contracts by spending a semester abroad. Such an ex-change semester greatly increases their employment chances.

About BaselBasel is Switzerland’s second largest city, with a population of some 180,000, and is situated in the north of the country on the border with France and Germany.Basel’s history goes back to the first century BC with a Celtic settle-ment on the River Rhine and the city developed as a busy trading centre through the Middle Ages. During the Renaissance it was one of the great cities of the Humanist movement (Erasmus lived and died here). At that time the University of Basel was founded (1460) and the town has since developed into one of the major centres of the Euro-pean chemical/pharmaceutical industry, and a leading centre for banking and insurance. It is home to over 20 museums (including the world’s first public Art Museum) and Switzerland’s reigning football champions, FC Basel.Basel is a transport hub, being on the European road and rail axis, with good connections to everywhere in Switzerland and neighbou-ring countries, and has its own airport (Basel-Euroairport).

BSc in International Business Management taught in EnglishBSc in Business Administration (Betriebsökonomie) taught in GermanPlease note that the courses taught in German and English are radi-cally different both in subject and approach.

Studying in English International Business Management, IBMThe IBM course in English is for students wanting to develop inter-cultural management skills for an international business career. The IBM course is a course which includes students from France, Germany and Switzerland, and the course is also held in France (Semester 1 & 4) and Germany (2 & 5). Semesters 3 (winter semester) and 6 (summer semester) are held in Basel, in English. This is a set 15-week intensive course and students attend all classes. There is, however, a choice of electives. See programme for details.

Studying in German Business Administration (Betriebsökonomie)The German language degree programme is very much a «hard-skills» course, with a focus on maths, accountancy and economics. An area of excellence of this division is IT and E-business and Accounting.The German language division now offers a full Bachelor Programme.Students are free to choose any subjects on the timetable; they create their own individual study-programme (provided that there is no clash on the timetable).

Of special interest to foreign students are the «majors» and the «mino-rs» in the third year; Majors are:– Marketing– Accounting and Controlling (recommended only to native

German speakers) – Auditing (recommended only to native German speakers)(Others are offered in Brugg and Olten – also check their programmes)

About BruggThe medieval town of Brugg, situated where the rivers Aare, Reuss and Limmat flow together, was originally an important fort for the Habsburg family. For the first several hundred years of its existence, the Habsburg armies would gather here, and the Habsburg kings built monasteries and castles here. Due to its magnificent geographical and strategic location, Brugg was conquered by the Bernese by the fifteenth century and then, for instance, was the home for a renowned Latin school which delivered the town the nickname of «city of pro-phets».Brugg has, of course, expanded significantly over the centuries and become a modern industrialized city still profiting from its scenic en-vironment and important logistic proximity to the rivers leading to Basel and to Germany. Its expansion also includes the virtual merging together with the town of Windisch which dates back to a Roman camp of the first century.Brugg/Windisch offers many cultural attractions (Roman and Habs-burg) and significant leisure attractions, like for instance the thermal baths of Schinznach. Other cities, especially Baden and Zürich, are less than half an hour away.

BSc in Betriebsökonomie taught in GermanAutumn Semester taught in English

Within the Bologna-conform Bachelor in Betriebsökonomie there is an increasingly successful English-stream: the entire autumn semester is taught in English especially for foreign students. This semester meets all requirements of the bachelor programme, contributing business content totalling 30 ECTS. Exchange students are of course also welcome within the full BSc programme which is taught in Ger-man.

As a successful Betriebsökonomie graduate you have an excellent chance of finding a position as:– Key Account Manager– Marketing Assistant– Product Manager– Business Planner– Assistant to Chief Financial Officer– Controller– Internal Auditor– Personal Assistant

Over half the Betriebsökonomie graduates work in service companies (excluding trade): these are predominantly banks, insurance compa-nies, asset management companies, business consultants and trusts; the self-employed represent a small minority. In our region an over-proportionate number also work in industrial companies. Most Be-triebsökonomie graduates are active in more than one division of a company: finance and accounting and marketing/advertising/sales currently account for more than two to three times all the other divi-sions mentioned.
