The Lorange Institute of Business is a different kind of Business School and it is characterized by numerous innovations. These innovations benefit you during your education.

Modular Programs

Our programs are brief and based on a modular structure. These modules are typically two days and twelve days long. You keep your full-time job and learn both on the job and at the Lorange Institute. It is possible to take single modules to expand and grow your management know-how. Should you choose to start a master’s program after a single module, you can simply transfer the credits to the program. The program modules are cyclical, so you can start whenever the time is right for you.

Meeting Place Culture – Grow Your Network

The Lorange Institute is a debate forum, a meeting place where students, faculty members and practitioners can build networks and share in-sights, ideas and expertise.

World Class Part-Time Faculty

For each subject we draw on the world’s leading faculty, a network of top professors. They are active in cutting-edge research and teaching in their particular fields.

All faculty members have teaching assignments at other universities and/or practical managerial experience. Every professor is not only a recognized expert, but also a gifted teacher – able to put across the latest materials in a practical, down-to-earth way. Our professors come from all over the world.

Zurich Living Case: For a world of Practitioners

The Zurich Living Case is a core element of all our Executive Master’s programs. During the Zurich Living Case projects, participants operate in teams which are supervised by faculty members. They work closely together with selected companies on intense, fast-paced consulting projects. We cultivate a thoroughly practical approach to learning and combine theory and practice. Hands-on learning is provided through our Zurich Living Case.

Our mission

The Lorange Institute of Business Zurich brings together the worlds of global business practice and academic theory. We offer - modular and flexible - graduate degree programs, short open enrolement programs and customized courses for qualified executives from middle and upper management. We foster an environment for reciprocal learning and are a productive meeting place for realistic and optimistic value creation on different career stages.

We make faculty, students and staff conjointly create innovations and sustainable value for the complex business world. The professional and personal advancement and further development of all stakeholders is the utmost concern.

Our decisions are led by the following triad of questions:

Is it beneficial to the stakeholders?
Is it beneficial to the global business world?
Is it innovative?

Accreditation, certification and registration are objective ways of measuring a business school’s credentials. Thus the quality of education, the school’s facilities, the faculty and the programs are under constant review as part of these processes. Due to our start-up situation as well as our innovative approach to management education we are currently not ranked by FT and others. However the Lorange Institute is accredited, certified and registered by several globally recognized organizations – your assurance of the quality of our management education programs:
