School of Management and Law

Welcome to the ZHAW School of Management and Law, one of Switzerland’s leading business schools.

The ZHAW School of Management and Law (SML) is one of the largest business schools in Switzerland, with around 9,000 students in degree and continuing education programs. Since 2015, we have met the demanding standards of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). In 2023, we received EQUIS accreditation, and in 2025, AMBA accreditation – further international seals of approval for the highest quality in degree programs, research, and continuing education. With these three international accreditations, the SML now holds the coveted "Triple Crown." Our degree and further education programs also regularly feature in renowned rankings published by the Financial Times. 
Under the umbrella of ZHAW, we work closely with other specialist disciplines. Our internationally acclaimed Bachelor's and Master's degree programs, cooperative PhD programs, and range of continuing education programs are scientifically grounded, interdisciplinary, and practically oriented. In all our activities, we contribute to solving economic and social challenges. Our guiding principle, "Building Competence. Crossing Borders." reflects our commitment to quality degree programs and continuing education, coupled with a global mindset. The SML has collaborative partnerships with over 190 universities worldwide.
