- what happens if it is difficult to complete?
- Does it mean that if you can’t afford it, can’t find time for it, or if you struggle academically as a student, you are destined to be a mid-level employee
FOREVER?

No, if you choose not to. You may pay as you progress along the course.
Do note that we charge a one-time application fee of USD 100 for all applicants to cover screening and administrative costs.
We have been there and done that as students, and we are here to tell you EXACTLY what you need to do to graduate with your degrees. No more, no less.
Some of the courses in the MBA and DBA program are overlapping; we will help you with the conversion of credits so that you take fewer modules in the MBA and/or the DBA program. This will save you both time and resources.
Note that not all course credits earned are transferrable as they are subject to the universities' approval, and you might be required to take two ‘similar’ modules as part of your degree requirements.
As university policy changes from time to time, our experience tells us that the sequence of admission into a specific program is key. As a rule of thumb, we will advice our students to check with us first, before application for admission to any other business-related degree programs.
A Bachelor of Business Administration dissertation (or thesis) is usually around 8,000 words and you are required to complete a dissertation or thesis, most are divided into three to four individual chapters, plus an introduction, conclusion and bibliography. We will advise you accordingly if there is a need for you to complete a dissertation/thesis.
Assessments vary by the modules that you take. While most of the work is done through coursework, you should expect some formal exams to test knowledge of key concepts and practices (which we will gladly teach you how to pass and excel in). You do not need to sit for a written exam for your SSM's BBA.
For Swiss School of Management, there is no on-campus housing.
SSM's BBA is not about mathematics or programming; although there are components that require certain knowledge and skills in these fields. Rest assured that we will help you pick up these skills within the allocated time. (It's not that difficult!)
Furthermore, you will be learning these knowledge and skills from the perspective of a supervisor. This means that after you graduate, you are supposed to oversee the work done by your employees / subordinates rather than do the work yourself.
