Life at SISB

Having Swiss health insurance is mandatory for all people living in Switzerland and SISB has a partner company that provides students with the latest solutions in terms of health and accident insurance. Student insurance starts at CHF1,300 per year and may vary depending on your needs. Should students already be in possession of international insurance they will have to contact the administration team for further assistance and assure the validity in Switzerland.

All students enrolled at the SISB will be granted a student residency permit which allows them to legally live in Switzerland. The permit can further be used by students to discover Europe. Our Immigration Advisory Service is there to answer any questions you have about visas and student permits. Should you require help, we can also assist you with the application process through the Embassy of Switzerland in your country. Please note that in periods of high demand visas may sometimes take longer to issue. Make sure you have all the necessary documents submitted with your application and should you have any queries our team is here to help.

Culinary Switzerland is a gourmet’s paradise to be explored afresh wherever you go as the menu in addition to a modest number of national dishes mainly features regional specialities.

Swiss cuisine combines influences from the German, French and North Italian cuisine. However, it varies greatly from region to region with the language divisions constituting a rough boundary outline. Mind you, many dishes have crossed the local borders and become firm favourites throughout Switzerland. These dishes include, among others: 

All of SISB’s academic programs are delivered in English. Our experienced and highly qualified professors can also help you to improve your knowledge and use of English. We run special intensive English courses, which include general English courses, Business English courses, In-sessional courses and Pre-sessional courses. For some students, it may be obligatory to take extra classes, depending on their language level and study program. SISB offers not only business learning opportunities but an environment where cultural skills and understanding can also be acquired, providing valuable tools and opportunities for the business world of tomorrow.

At the SISB, we want you to have a fantastic experience. There are many great options for living arrangements while you study with us. The student affairs office can assist you with some limited placement into accommodation and this is based on a first-come-first-served and individual enquiry basis. Contact: info@SISB.ch Whichever option you decide to go with, all new students coming to study at SISB should plan to arrive at least seven days prior to starting their courses. This allows students to have the enough time to settle in the area before classes begin.
