Who we are

Founded in 1987, Business School Lausanne is a boutique business school located in the greater area of Lausanne, Switzerland, and is part of the Lemania Group of Swiss Private Schools. Founded in 1987, BSL has been providing quality business education for 25 years and building on its dedication to responsible leadership and entrepreneurship. Each year students of over 60 nationalities join our Bachelor’s, Master’s, MBA, Executive Education and Doctoral programs.

BSL takes a practical approach to business studies. We provide relevant education by adapting our programs to the constantly changing business world. Our commitment to pragmatic and applied learning is widely recognized by employers as BSL ranks consistently in the Top 3 business schools in Switzerland in the QS Global 200 Business Schools Report, an employer’s choice-based ranking system.

Built on the vision of providing an alternative to traditional business education, BSL has stayed true to its entrepreneurial spirit throughout the years, establishing itself as a learning hub for ambitious and talented students from around the world. We have created a truly global learning environment where professors and students of diverse backgrounds work in close partnership.

As educators, we believe it is our responsibility to shape a new generation of leaders and entrepreneurs. We equip our students with skills and competences that will enable them to lead responsibly, sustainably and collaboratively in the global business environment of today and tomorrow.

Our mission

To provide a learning platform that enables both students and organizations to thrive by creating viable business solutions for our planet and its people.

This mission has emerged as a result of many planted seeds over the past years and continues to develop and evolve in new commitments and projects that each and every stakeholder of BSL generates. The intention, behavior and actions of all of us represent the emerging story of who we are becoming.

Our shared commitment

As a leading innovator in business education, we continuously re‐invent and transform ourselves to embrace our commitment to provide management education for the world. At BSL we believe that operating a business for the mere purpose of making and maximizing money is no longer legitimate. Profits are a result of entrepreneurial action not a goal in itself. For business to obtain its license to operate, organizations of all kind need to embrace their broader societal, environmental and economic responsibility; thus becoming “sustainable”.
