English is essential for a successful career in international business.

Upon successful completion of the English Foundation Program, students will be automatically accepted into their chosen EU bachelor’s, master’s or MBA program if other admission requirements are met.

The diverse and international community in Geneva allows students to gain a global mindset and expand their cultural awareness during their time at EU. These soft skills are essential for any future business leader's repertoire and are highly desirable traits in the international job market. Geneva’s combination of tranquility, diversity and business excellence makes this city a perfect location to gain a business education.
