We prepare people to be able to make an immediate and significant contribution to business success. Boost your career opportunities Students leave the School with an approach to doing business - a set of tools. A set of tools that: they can use to shape the business world around them can be adapted to the dynamic environment they will find themselves in will not become outdated in a few years. The people who teach at BSL are all current, successful business practitioners. They expect active student participation in the classroom, so class sizes are limited to a maximum of 20 people. Statements are challenged by faculty members and other students - the attack and defence of ideas are important tools for a career in business. Currently, 30 different nationalities are represented in the School, which means students are exposed to a wide variety of problem-solving approaches. Being prepared to take different approaches, and to combine and adapt the best parts of other solutions are characteristics of successful business people. The BSL pragmatic approach equips graduates to talk real business during an interview - the first important step in building a successful career. Recognition of good quality BSL has always put great emphasis on the quality of its programmes. At the end of 2004,SQS (the Swiss Association for Quality and Management Systems) awarded BSL the ISO 9001 Certification. The ISO standards are recognized worldwide as THE standards by which industries prove to their customers the consistency of the quality of their output. These industries are the future employers of our graduates and so the ISO 9001 Certification adds significant value to the BSL degrees. In 1996, we were proud to become the first business school in Europe to be accredited by ACBSP (Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs). The combination of academic accreditation and the achievement of industrial-quality standards is unique in the business education field. Lausanne is 35 minutes from Geneva. As might be expected in a city that is home to the International Olympic Committee, Lausanne has extensive local sporting and recreational facilities.
