Arbetsmarknaden känns väldigt tuff just nu, både i Sverige och i Europa. Jag har blivit antagen till en Business Administration-utbildning i Schweiz. Anledningen till att jag sökte just den utbildningen är att den består av 1,5 år praktik och 1,5 år studier, vilket jag tänker borde öka chanserna att få jobb efter examen. Praktiken ger ju både arbetslivserfarenhet och möjlighet att skapa kontakter.

Det som får mig att tveka är kostnaden. Utbildningen skulle innebära ungefär 900 000 kr i CSN-skuld.
Tycker ni att det är värt att ta en sådan risk? Har någon här pluggat en liknande utbildning utomlands och sedan fått ett bra jobb med bra lön eller position i Sverige eller någon annanstans i Europa?

Jag har flera vänner som är byggingenjörer och civilekonomer men som ändå har svårt att få jobb eftersom de saknar relevant arbetslivserfarenhet. Därför känns det som att den här utbildningen kan ge mig ett försprång genom 1,5 års praktik och ett större nätverk.

Jag har också hört en del om IHM Business School. Är det någon här som har studerat där eller rekryterat personer därifrån? Hur ser arbetsmarknaden ut efter examen? Är utbildningarna där värda att satsa på jämfört med att läsa utomlands?
Hur hade ni resonerat i min situation?

I’m a 24-year-old guy from Sweden who doesn’t really have a father figure in my life, and I’d appreciate some advice from people with more life experience.
I recently got accepted into a Business Administration program in Switzerland, but I’m struggling to decide what to do.

If I study in Switzerland, the total cost will be around $90,000. If I stay in Sweden, I can get a similar degree for around $40,000 at most.

The reason I’m considering Switzerland is that the program includes about 1.5 years of internships and strong connections with larger international companies. It seems like experience is becoming more important than ever in today’s job market, so those internships could make a huge difference when looking for work after graduation.

The way I see it, my options are:
Study in Sweden: less debt, less financial risk, but potentially fewer opportunities and connections.
Study in Switzerland: much higher debt, but possibly better career prospects, international experience, a stronger network, and personal growth from living abroad.

My goal is to eventually reach a leadership or management position and build a successful career.
If you were in my shoes, would you take the safer route and graduate with less debt, or would you take the risk and invest in the international experience and opportunities?

I’d especially like to hear from people who are 35+ and have already built their careers. Looking back, what would you have done?

TL;DR Should I take the risk?

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice from people who know the Spanish job market.
I’m planning to study Business Administration in Switzerland, and as part of my education I’ll have a 6-month internship. The great thing is that I can choose almost any country and company for the internship.
Spain is one of the countries I’m seriously considering because I love the culture, language, and lifestyle. My goal is not only to complete the internship but also to build a strong international career afterward.

So my question is:
Which companies in Spain would you recommend for a Business Administration student who wants to work for a stable, international company with good career growth opportunities and long-term earning potential?
I’m especially interested in companies that:
Operate internationally
*Have strong leadership and management development programs
*Offer opportunities to grow into management positions
*Have a good reputation and financial stability

If you were in my position, which company would you choose and why?
Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I’m from Sweden and I’m planning to start at HIM Business School soon, but before making my final decision I wanted to ask for honest opinions.

They advertise a business program combining academic studies with paid internships every other semester. After graduation, students receive:
- a Bachelor in Business from HIM Business School
- a BBA from Northwood University (USA)

Before starting, I wanted to ask:

1. Is HIM Business School actually respected in Switzerland?
2. What is its reputation among employers?
3. They say 90% of students get jobs directly after graduation — is that true?
4. Are there good job opportunities in Switzerland after graduating, especially for EU/Swedish students?
5. Is the paid internship system worth it and useful in practice?

I’d really appreciate honest feedback from anyone familiar with the school.

Thank you!
