About the Program
The program reflects the future challenges for business, society and policy. It takes into account the Basel environment with world-class multinational companies and optimally uses our international network of researchers and teachers to the benefit of our students.
Courses are particularly designed for the students enrolled at the University of Basel, but are also open for motivated and good students from other universities all over the world – particularly, however, from other universities in Switzerland and the Basel metropolitan area (EUCOR-program).
All courses are taught in English by faculty members of U.S. universities at the University of Basel. All courses are part of either the Bachelor Arts (BA) in Business and Economics or the Master of Science (MSc) in Business and Economics offered by the Faculty of Business and Economics. A number of courses are also part of additional, specialized Master programs.
Students enrolled in the master’s program have the opportunity to attend the Master Seminar in Business, Law and Economic Policy (including a trip to Washington DC and New York City) where they will present their seminar papers to an international audience. The program also facilitates public and research events which will be held in Basel.

The Summer School Program is possible thanks to the generous donation of two sponsors. We would like to express our gratitude to the Claudine und Hans-Heiner Zaeslin-Bustany-Foundation as well as Dr. Rudolf Maag for their generous and constant financial support without which the Summer School would not exist.
