Specify your specialization: e.g., Sales and Marketing

Made your choices?

To register, simply complete the online form or reach out to our head office in Switzerland. Rest assured, this step is entirely free of charge—there are no upfront fees. If you later decide to explore other specializations or diploma levels, you'll have ample time to reassess your options with us.

After you've submitted your application, expect to hear back from us within 3 working days. If any documents are missing, we'll promptly request them via email to ensure a smooth process.

To finalize your application, please send the following documents, translated to English and officially stamped, to our admissions office:

  • Completed application form

  • High school diploma (for undergraduate applicants) or Undergraduate Diploma (for postgraduate applicants)

  • IELTS, TOEFL, or equivalent test results

  • Curriculum Vitae

  • Work references (if available)

  • Copy of passport or an official ID

We're here to guide you through every step of your academic journey.

STEP TWO

Once we have received all your documents and reviewed your application, our Admission office will send you an email titled "OFFER LETTER." This signifies that you have met the qualifications for your chosen program. However, to secure your place, all students must pay a registration fee of 240 Euros. Once paid, this fee will be forwarded to the Head of Admission for final approval.

Please be aware that our Offer Letter is valid for only 14 days. Failure to submit the registration fee within this timeframe may result in the inability to guarantee your place. Given the high volume of daily applications and our limited capacity, prompt action is essential to secure your spot at OUBH International Academy of Business & Technology in Switzerland.

STEP THREE

Upon receipt of the Registration fee, we will promptly issue an "OFFICIAL LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE." This letter secures your place to study at our institution. Occasionally, you may be required to pay a portion of the study fee upon receiving this letter.

It's important to note that the first-year fee must be settled 2-4 weeks before the intake date. Subsequently, we will provide you with comprehensive study materials and instructions on accessing our virtual classrooms. Typically, our study programs are scheduled from Friday to Sunday.
