Internationality: studies abroad and dual degree

The program is offered by the University of Rochester (NY, USA) in cooperation with the Universität Bern.  Students come from all over the world and study in Switzerland, the United States (6 weeks in Rochester), and China (1 week in Shanghai). 

During their studies, they have the opportunity to work with students of the parallel executive program in the United States.  They meet for the first time during the Swiss student's stay in Rochester.  In fall, the U.S. Class spends a joint weekend in Thun and meet again during the seminar in Shanghai.

Rochester-Bern Executive MBA graduates earn an international MBA degree (University of Rochester) as well as a national EMBA degree (Universität Bern).  The international MBA degree they earn is the same they would get if they would study full-time in the United States.   


"Classes in English, an international student and faculty body, and the award of an internationally recognized U.S. MBA degree makes it the perfect choice for expats."
