FAQ

About HES-SO Master

Why choose this major?

"The Eurasian markets represent great economic potential for Swiss and foreign companies, but they are also heterogeneous and marked by a cultural context that is very different than our own. The "Business in Eurasia" major is the only Swiss training opportunity, at the Master of Science level, that imparts the skills and practical know-how needed to succeed in these demanding and dynamic markets. The practical and cultural immersion will be done through projects for real companies and courses that are taught by experts and that will take place partly in Eurasia."

Lukas Baschung, Head of the major
