Bachelor of Arts in International Relations

The world is becoming more global every year. The UBIS degree teaches a robust, global business perspective at an exclusive university in Geneva, Switzerland. UBIS enrolls students from 40+ countries to fill its private campus each year.
 

The Bachelor of Business Administration degree is a three-year program. UBIS BBA offers a very innovative unique pedagogy, based on small groups (20 students) working on a real project (their own students’ projects).
 

UBIS offers students the unique experience and opportunity to engage on-campus with a safe, personalized academic learning environment, while maintaining the flexibility and convenience of immersive online coursework throughout their program.
 

Students have the option to take in-person courses at our technology focused campus in beautiful Geneva, Switzerland, while enjoying the freedom to travel the globe or engage from the comfort of their own home via the UBIS online learning platform.
 

Students can also benefit from UBIS’ mobility program, giving them the option to do one or several terms in a partner school.
 

Students also can get a Dual Swiss/U.S. Degree, which is jointly delivered with the University of Potomac, based in Washington DC.
