The American Institute of Applied Sciences in Switzerland (AUS) is located in La Tour-de-Peilz on the beautiful shores of Lake Geneva, close to the Olympic Capital Lausanne and the city of Geneva, the center for diplomacy. For over three decades AUS has prepared international business students with the knowledge, tools, and training of today to be positive contributors to the general management of any business organization of tomorrow. The AUS past is characterized by continued transformation, growth and improvement in a world of tremendous change. Year after year, the higher education landscape is growing more complex and so are its challenges and the needs it aspires to address. In response, through experiential and student-centered learning, AUS exposes its students to real-life scenarios so they can develop the necessary skills to thrive in a world that is evolving at an accelerating pace with significant changes driven by a ‘new normal’, post-pandemic era.
At AUS, all the Bachelor and Master Degrees are taught in English to small dynamic cohorts by leading business visionaries who bring extensive experience in successful business ventures, giving them the in-depth background to create a lively and interactive classroom. Leveraging their networks, AUS teachers invite industry leaders to guest lecture and speak, bringing additional practical experience and expertise to the institution. AUS’ teacher-to-student ratio is roughly 1:7, facilitating a deeper working relationship between students and professors. The small class size provides students with optimum personal interaction, allowing professors to mentor and advise a larger number of students.
