The mentioned courses and its programs are accredited by European well known bodies and recommended by most business firms. The courses are open for application by all study levels. Surprising that OUS has been in this field for less than three years now? However its main director Dr. Habib Al Souleiman has been in this filed for 10 years, therefore OUS was able to achieve huge success in less than three years. OUS has a larger population of about 1209 students (as September 2016) compared to other business schools in Switzerland as it offers a high level of virtual teaching since 2013. OUS said students don’t need to worry if they have a tight schedule as the programs can be taken in full and part time.

OUS students can now apply for a dual award especially those who are interested in a second award. Well, this is possible at OUS Switzerland® as long as you are willing to pay for the difference. Recently OUS Signed an agreement with a state recognized university in Europe. All students will have a double award, for additional fee of 3000 USD, however OUS requested not to publish it now as it will be published officially end of 2016.
