THE STUDY ENVIRONMENT
A closer look.
Basel offers routes across business and economics, life sciences, law, psychology and the humanities. The Bachelor’s in Business and Economics allows students to build a common foundation before choosing a business, economics or general direction. At Master’s level, Finance and Money offers a more focused route into financial markets, investment and monetary questions. For an international family, the distinction between undergraduate German requirements and English postgraduate options is central to choosing a suitable programme.
