School History
The Swiss School of Management (SSM) is an accredited private institute of higher education
founded in the last century in Switzerland. While the head office is still in Switzerland, in 2002,
the school moved operations to Rome, Italy. With the move to Italy, the Swiss School of
Management students benefited from EU policy which grants students the ability to travel and
work without a visa in 27 member countries of the European Union. The success of the Swiss
School of Management, Rome In-Residence program demonstrated the benefits of bringing the
Swiss School of Management programs to locations that better suit students and was the first of
its six locations around the globe. To facilitate recruitment and allow Swiss School of Management
tutors and staff to follow our international student body closely, the school has opened more
program sites: Dubai (UAE), Bahrain (GCC), Cairo (Egypt), Brescia (Italy), and Barcelona (Spain).
All programs and workshops offered through the Swiss School of Management are offered to be
taken 100% online. Barcelona, Brescia, and Rome sites also offer a hybrid model.

The beauty of being in different countries is having a closer relationship with our international
student body and providing our students with a global community that will prepare them for the
globalized business world. Our programs are offered online with some sites offering the programs
in a hybrid model allowing students to participate in person. Students can participate in our
programs administered by the Swiss School of Management and are followed by local tutors and
staff members. Our In-Residence Program sites are official examination centers where candidates
can defend their final thesis, dissertations, and projects. They are also the locations of networking
events, community-building initiatives, and academic events. An international network aims to
give students a chance to travel the world, get exposed to new cultures & customs, and continue
their studies under the same academic roof with more learning opportunities and exposure.
