Master in Global Business Management

Become a driving force in the global business world — with cutting-edge expertise in international leadership

The world is facing rapid changes — from digitalization to geopolitical shifts — placing new demands on companies and their leaders.

The MSc program in Global Business Management is designed for those who want to understand and influence the global business landscape in depth.

The program provides you with advanced knowledge in strategy, economics, organizational management, and international marketing — skills that are in demand in both multinational corporations and fast-growing startups. The program combines academic depth with practical application in a real-world context.

Studies take place at BHMS in Lucerne, a Swiss city with strong ties to international hospitality and business education. The program includes accommodation, meals, and insurance, and is approved for CSN financing for Swedish students.

Upon graduation, you will receive a dual master’s degree — one from BHMS in Switzerland and one from Robert Gordon University in the United Kingdom — a combination that gives you both academic weight and global credibility.
