The Swiss School of Business and Management Geneva (SSBM Geneva) is proud to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), marking the beginning of a strategic collaboration aimed at advancing project management education and certification across the globe.

This partnership establishes a framework for joint efforts in teaching, training, certification, and the development of innovative academic programmes in project management. The collaboration will focus on enhancing opportunities for students across the international SSBM Geneva network, aligning educational offerings with global standards in project management.

Through this MoU, SSBM Geneva and IPMA will explore the co-development of programmes—including Master’s, MBA, Mini MBA, and DBA offerings—designed in alignment with the IPMA Individual Competence Baseline (ICB4.0). In addition, the partnership will enable the creation of simulation-based training tools and support IPMA student certifications across SSBM campuses and partner institutions globally.

This partnership strengthens our commitment to delivering cutting-edge, industry-relevant education that prepares our students to lead complex projects with competence and confidence.

This MoU represents a major step forward in equipping future professionals with internationally benchmarked skills and expanding access to world-class project management training.
