What inspired you to pursue a Bachelor of Business Administration at SSBM Geneva?

What initially attracted me to SSBM Geneva was the structure of the study programme itself. I was looking for a business degree that would not be limited to theory, but would also focus on the kind of practical knowledge that is genuinely needed in a career and in the real business world. The programme felt relevant, modern, and career-oriented, which made it the right choice for me.

How has the program helped you develop essential business and leadership skills?

The programme has helped me look at business from a much broader and more structured perspective. It strengthened my understanding of management, decision-making, communication, and leadership, not only as academic subjects, but as skills that can be applied in real professional situations. I also became more confident in analysing problems, presenting ideas clearly, and thinking more strategically.

Have you been able to apply what you’ve learned in your studies to your job, internship, or personal projects?

Yes, definitely. What I learned at SSBM has already helped me during two internships that I secured after starting my studies. I was able to connect the concepts from my courses with real workplace tasks, especially in understanding business processes, communicating professionally, managing responsibilities, and approaching work with a more analytical mindset. It made me feel more prepared and more aware of how business decisions work in practice.
