At SSBM Geneva, we are constantly inspired by our students’ stories — stories of ambition, resilience, and excellence. One such story belongs to Matilde Schwencke, a standout online Bachelor’s student who is not only pursuing her academic goals with us but also proudly represented both SSBM Geneva and Chile at the prestigious Torino 2025 University Games.

In a recent testimonial video, Matilde shared her experience of balancing a demanding skiing career with a rigorous academic schedule — and how SSBM Geneva’s flexible online program has been the key to her success.

Her dedication on and off the slopes is a reflection of what we believe in at SSBM: empowering students to shape their futures on their terms. With our fully online programs, students like Matilde can access quality education wherever they are in the world, without compromising their passions or professions.

Representing her country on the global stage while continuing her studies is no small feat. For Matilde, this dual commitment is only possible through the strong academic structure, flexibility, and understanding faculty at SSBM Geneva. Whether she’s traveling for competitions or training at high altitudes, her studies remain accessible and uninterrupted.

She emphasized that the flexibility and support she’s received through SSBM Geneva have allowed her to train, compete, and study seamlessly. 

We’re proud to support students like Matilde who are redefining what it means to be both a scholar and an athlete. Her story is a powerful reminder that with the right tools and mindset, excellence in every area of life is possible.
