The management of modern companies requires a very broad range of talents and skills, which can vary depending on the type of company, workplace, department or function. The aim of our executive education programs at the Faculty of Business, Economics and Informatics (UZH) is to do justice to this diversity and to recommend you for a “general management” position and thus a variety of different career paths.
The first Chair of Business Administration in the German-speaking world was established at UZH back in 1903. In 1962, Hans P. Künzi, then Professor of Process Engineering, put the University's first computer into operation and founded the Computer Center: the foundation stone for computer science at the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics was laid. Executive Education at UZH has a unique constellation: our organization combines interdisciplinary knowledge from the fields of management, economics, banking & finance, informatics and computer science.
The first intake of the continuing education course “Management Weiterbildung” started more than 35 years ago. In 2001, this program culminated in what is now known as the Executive MBA. The learning content was and is based on current challenges and is entirely modular in design. Our participants enjoy flexibility when it comes to choice of modules, i.e., content from other executive education programs can be elected.
The Business Administration Executive Committee is responsible for the academic management of the program and consists of the following persons:
We are proud to work with a number of renowned organizations that help us to achieve the best possible educational success for our participants. Our partners help us to prepare managers for the challenges of the modern business world.

«Zurich is a center of the global financial industry, a place of innovation and a unique ecosystem in which leading companies and universities exchange and inspire each other. As a member of the League of European Research Universities (LERU) and with 12 Nobel Prize winners to date, the University of Zurich is one of the world's leading universities. Sounds elitist? As researchers and lecturers, we are always learners ourselves and share this questioning path with curious people from all backgrounds. That's the reason why it's worth joining us on our journey.»
