EU Business School Switzerland Academic Excellence Scholarship

EU Business School is a private, English-taught business school with Swiss campuses in Geneva and Montreux, alongside Barcelona and Munich, and it operates a transfer system that lets students move between campuses during a degree. Its academic excellence scholarships reduce tuition by 10-50% and are renewable against performance. Two things are worth being clear about. First, this is a private business school, not a Swiss public university — its degrees are accredited through international bodies and partner universities rather than the Swiss federal system, so verify how the specific award will be recognised for your intended career or further study, particularly if you plan to return to a regulated profession. Second, the practical draw for Sri Lankan students is real: English-taught business degrees in Switzerland with rolling intakes, no Swiss language requirement, and multi-campus mobility across Europe.

Check Degree Recognition
