Welcome to the Swiss School of Management
As we celebrate our 33rd year of excellence, we are thrilled to share a milestone achievement that exemplifies our dedication and hard work. This summer, our motto is “We did it!” With immense pride, I announce that the Swiss School of Management is now the first Swiss institution of higher education to receive Institutional Accreditation and Degree Granting Authority from the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC), a prestigious body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).
This rigorous accreditation process, successfully navigated over the past three years, stands as a testament to our commitment to quality and excellence.
More than three decades ago, I envisioned a unique business school that now flourishes with branches in several countries. Throughout this journey, we have upheld our EduQua certification and earned programmatic accreditation from the International Accreditation Council for Business Education (IACBE). As a proud Swiss citizen, I have always aimed to instill our nation’s renowned values of time management, precision, quality, and transparency into our international student body.
Today, we are proud to operate as a top-accredited “Boutique Business School,” dedicated to shaping leaders and entrepreneurs ready to navigate a globalized and often challenging business environment. At SSM, we embrace cutting-edge technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, to enhance processes and customer service. Yet, our true distinction lies in our relentless focus on developing the human skills essential for genuine leadership. We aim to cultivate not just professionals, but well-rounded leaders who excel in every aspect of their lives.
During your time at SSM, you will acquire the technical expertise and strategic insights necessary to run or start a successful business. Our curriculum emphasizes the importance of employee happiness, customer satisfaction, and stakeholder engagement. You will learn to take responsibility for both individual and group assignments, gaining firsthand experience in leadership and teamwork. We provide a dynamic environment where you can hone the technical and interpersonal skills that will set you apart as a person, professional, and leader.
Our faculty members are not just academics but accomplished professionals and entrepreneurs who bring their passion for teaching, coaching, and mentoring to the classroom. They go beyond textbooks, sharing their real-world experiences and inviting guest speakers to enrich your learning journey. Through the “Case Study Method,” you will analyze real industrial successes and failures, stepping into the shoes of a CEO to make crucial decisions.
As you advance to our Master’s or Doctoral programs, you will encounter real-world challenges that require innovative solutions, based on research and empiric data. This is where the true magic happens—applying your skills to tackle complex issues, driving your organization to market leadership, or redefining strategies to overcome obstacles and achieve growth.
One of SSM’s unique strengths is our international presence. You have the opportunity to study at various SSM learning centers worldwide, participate in international weeks, workshops, and contests. Whether you need to balance work, travel, or family commitments, our flexible online and podcast classes ensure you can continue your studies and earn your degree without interruption.
There is so much more to discover about our school. Rather than reading about it, I invite you to join us and experience firsthand what it means to study, learn, and become part of the Swiss School of Management family.
I look forward to meeting you in person and welcoming you to SSM.
Sincerely,
Dr. Massimiliano Bracalé

We strongly encourage our students to study abroad in other SSM In-Residence centers. Currently, you can choose to study in five different cities: Rome, Brescia, Barcelona, Cairo, Dubai, and Bahrain. For executive students who are currently employed, we offer online learning options for all our programs. One of the features we are most proud of is our SWISS-COACHING service for students. We offer life and business coaching sessions for free, ensuring that every student at the Swiss School of Management has the opportunity to receive expert guidance from experienced Coaches.
At the Swiss School of Management, Education in and out of the classroom is readily available. Our faculty are friendly, welcoming, and supportive. With relatively small class sizes, you will have the opportunity to know the faculty and work with them side by side on business and research projects.
