Trends in technology, globalization, outsourcing and banking consolidation are putting unprecedented demands on current graduates. Employers are demanding more applied skills from graduate students, and as the competition for employment becomes increasingly steep, one needs to distinguish one's self from peers by bringing a multitude of skills to the table. This is particularly true in investment banking, corporate and securities law, consulting, and business management. Swiss Finance Academy Programs are designed to help you bridge the theory - application gap, and graduate with something very few students have: perspective and insight on the essential skills from the executive level. Swiss Finance will give you a competitive edge, and launch your career to the next level.

Unlike other university education programs with business and finance curricula, our programs are taught by executives, entrepreneurs and graduate business school professors with extensive industry as well as teaching experience. They have been in the “trenches” of the business and Wall Street worlds, and can offer you the kind of applied, practical knowledge, insights and skills that you need to succeed.

The perspective you receive at Swiss Finance goes far beyond theoretical knowledge. Because our instructors have all held executive level positions, they are well-equipped to dispense candid insight and perspective from their vantage points. Our students learn a framework for success as they emerge from our rigorous programs with vital, marketable business skills which distinguish Swiss Finance alumni from other job-seekers.

The Swiss Finance Academy Program is designed to simulate real-world investment environments. Students become adept at handling pressure, high-stakes presentations, valuations, and negotiations at the program so they start work seamlessly. Learning takes place in a variety of forms, below are a few.
