Degree programs
The study programs leading to a Bachelor of Science or Master of Science degree are practical and scientifically based. They impart knowledge of scientific methods and their application enabling students to apply what they have learned directly and immediately in their everyday working lives.
Kalaidos University of Applied Sciences is the only business school in Switzerland where people with a vocational baccalaureate can complete a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in law. Also unique is its online Bachelor of Science degree program without compulsory attendance, which can be completed entirely part-time and independent of time and location.
Continuing Education

The Kalaidos School of Business and Management is constantly developing new study programs relevant to the current and future job markets. These enable career-relevant knowledge to be acquired quickly and reliably, using innovative technical and didactic methods.
Around 300 continuing education programs are available at the CAS, DAS, MAS, and MBA/EMBA levels. In addition, in cooperation with foreign partners, there is the possibility of DBA studies independent of time and location to achieve a doctorate.
