American Institute of Applied Sciences in Switzerland

The American Institute of Applied Sciences in Switzerland is a top-ranked institution of higher education located in the city of La Tour-de-Peilz on the beautiful shores of Lake Geneva, close to Lausanne and Geneva. 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.

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.

All courses 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 faculty 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.

AUS has developed an academic partnership with Tiffin University (TU) in Ohio, United States of America, which allows students to obtain a Dual Degree in various specializations; students can therefore take on an extra volume of courses and credits, but graduate with two degrees at the same time.
