Today, more than 2,300 people throughout Switzerland are following distance learning courses. They study in French, German or English.

Our students choose distance learning because:

• they have a family
• they are pursuing a sports career
• they travel a great deal or sometimes live abroad

• they have reduced mobility

Our students are ambitious: they study because they aspire to new professional prospects. They are ready to pursue their studies and their other commitments simultaneously.
