Hello!

Business School Lausanne is a private institution.

Their diplomas as well as the title they give after completion of studies

are not recognised by the federal authorities here in Switzerland.

I cannot comment on the quality of their programmes but the paper they deliver has no formal value in the Swiss education system.

I'd advise to check with the country where you want to use the diploma of Business School Lausanne if said country would recognise it.

Recognised universities/universities of applied sciences in Switzerland:

Be carefull -

I did a business 3-day seminar with them together with the MBA class and was very happy with the quality of the education. The professor was a business practitioner and not a stiff academic; the class size was great as it allowed for in-depth discussions, a lot of involvement from each of us ; the class was very diverse both in nationalities and backgrounds.

As for the recognition of degrees, be careful how you consider this aspect. Switzerland has a system of separating public-funded from private education. I understand that Business School Lausanne is a private school and as such its degrees are probably not recognized by the cantonal authorities in Switzerland, same with any other private school, e.g. IMD. I bet they have a licence to operate as an educational institution and recognition in this sense rather stands for state-funded. Unless you want a Swiss government job, I would not bother too much for not being on that list.

I would rather look into any employ-ability rankings (QS does this for European schools) and presence of any international accreditation.

OP, you should be very careful about people who join English Forum and whose first post reviews an organization and is either very positive or very negative. I suggest that you should take what they say with a grain of salt because of the increased likelihood that they have a vested interest. For example, is catcher in the rye an employee of the school?

- This is not correct.

There is no legal act that says that only public-funded institutions are eligible to federal recognition! Franklin College, University of Applied Sciences Kalaidos and University of Applied Sciences Les Roches-Gruyère are private institutions recognized by federal authorities.

Indeed, federal recognition of institutions and their diplomas is not compulsory, but in general, Swiss tertiary institutions (ETH, Unis, UAS, Teacher's Uni) won't admit candidates from schools that are not recognized in Switzerland. Private and public have all their pros/cons and it's allways recommandable to collect exhaustive information beforehand. www.admin.ch/opc/de/classified-compilation/19950279/index.html ; www.lau.admin.ch
