President’s Welcome Message

SSM Comes Home – Welcome to Geneva

Celebrating 34 Years of Excellence

After 25 remarkable years of representing Swiss education and values around the globe, I’m proud to share that the Swiss School of Management has finally found its way home. We have chosen Geneva, a city of diplomacy, innovation, and global relevance, as the new headquarters of SSM. This marks a meaningful return to our Swiss roots.

We Did It!
As we celebrate our 34th year of academic excellence, I reflect with deep pride on what we’ve accomplished. Last year, SSM became the first Swiss higher education institution to achieve Institutional Accreditation and Degree Granting Authority from the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC), a prestigious accrediting body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and CHEA.

Additionally, we have been granted an official State Licence by the Malta Further and Higher Education Authority (MFHEA), enabling us to award fully recognized Maltese degrees across the European Union. These milestones reflect our unwavering commitment to academic integrity, global recognition, and the highest standards of quality.

Looking Ahead
We continue to lead with innovation, launching new programs such as:
MSc in Artificial Intelligence & Big Data Management
Professional Coaching (accredited by the International Coaching Council)
MSc for Chief Communication Officers
These offerings, and many more, demonstrate our commitment to preparing students for tomorrow’s challenges.

Our Vision
More than three decades ago, I envisioned a business school that would embody Swiss values, precision, ethics, excellence, and time mastery. Today, SSM thrives internationally, consistently certified by EduQua and recognized by global bodies like the International Accreditation Council for Business Education (IACBE).

At SSM, we don’t just educate professionals, we shape holistic leaders. Our programs blend strategic thinking with real-world practice. Students engage in hands-on projects, case study–based learning, and collaborative leadership experiences. They graduate ready to lead with integrity, empathy, and purpose.

Truly Global. Proudly Swiss.
From international study weeks to worldwide competitions, hybrid delivery to podcast classes, we offer unmatched flexibility and exposure. And above all, we focus on the student experience. Our strongest endorsement continues to come from our alumni, the voices that carry our name far beyond our classrooms.

As I walk through our new campus in Geneva, I’m reminded of the journey that brought us here. I invite you to visit us, study with us, and become part of a truly unique educational community. The doors of SSM Geneva are open, and we are ready to welcome you home.

Yours,
Dr. Massimiliano Bracalé
Founding President, Swiss School of Management
