Service made in Switzerland
Hobsons MBA - Swiss Management Center (SMC) is a leader in educating students with high potential from all over the world, reaching out through its technologically and textually advanced distancelearning programme.We have a firm belief that our students are formed as much by our curriculum and guidance as they are by their previous personal, educational and professional experiences. SMC's role is to help bring it all together and allow them to shine. Our commitment to providing an outstanding education is reflected in the extraordinary professional success of our participants.

Quality builds on people
SMC attracts the most talented individuals and professionals from organisations across the globe. Personal attention is a hallmark of the Center, and continuous development assures that our degrees are both rigorous and relevant. Our strong global ties to industry, politics, and society serve as the incubator for our students' entrepreneurial ventures, careers and lifelong networks.

The result is a state-of-the-art, cutting-edge online learning platform that allows students to be part of the SMC learning experience from anywhere in the world, at any time and any pace.

Flexibility
We encourage individuals that have a track record of success and have demonstrated a drive to move to the next level. It has been our experience that these types of individuals perform best in our self-directed and rewarding educational programme. Rather than allowing a professor or other individual to govern and dictate the pace of the curriculum, we empower the students to make that determination for themselves and to progress at a pace that most suits them.We believe that our programmes fill a unique niche in the academic arena, providing a high-quality education with thought-provoking curricula in as many locations as we have students! No longer must students with high potential give up their jobs, homes or families for extended periods of time in the pursuit of advancing to the next level.

Leadership
Being among the leading Swiss business schools, SMC attracts faculty members that are renowned leaders in their fields. Our students benefit from reputable scholars and practitioners who are much sought-after in global business and politics.
