This is exactly what top part-time MBAs do, in Switzerland and anywhere else in mainland Europe. HSG is the school most respected by Swiss business people, and it has a deep brand value across the German-speaking region (especially among the over-50s). If you get into an MBA at HSG and can speak and write German you are highly likely to get the benefits you describe.<br><br>PS In terms of price performance, learning Hochdeutsche and Switzerdeutsche might be better investments for foreigners.

Mine is more a question about: in my situation would more worth to pursue a full time MBA or a Part Time MBA?

In terms of Net Present Value, the full-time course is the investment with the greater financial value. However, a part-time MBA is easier to get into. I was admitted to the full-time MBA at some similar schools (EMLyon, ESADE, HHL, RSM) but turned down by the full-time MBA at HSG.&nbsp;

Switzerland is an amazing country with really good salaries but knowing the job market quite well, most people 90%+ that work there are Swiss and have done Swiss universities. I think most employers would prefer a swiss from a less respected university than a top MBA candidate that does not speak Swiss-German (and French to a certain extent).

A third of workers in Switzerland have migrant backgrounds: https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/en/home/statistics/population/migration-integration/by-migration-status.html&nbsp;&nbsp;

Yes, but for what type of jobs...&nbsp;:disappointed:<br><br>The same can be said about the uk, france, etc...&nbsp;

The OP already has one of those jobs. Do you have a suggestion for how they can move forward, or recommendation between the full or part time options?

I am a bit torn about HSG MBA as this is not the HSG flagship + in a separated entity vs the traditional HSG (HSG Business School in this case).<br><br>I feel in Switzerland IMD might be a better idea or one of the Euro powerhouses (Insead? IESE? LBS?).<br>

I'm not sure the OP would be admitted to a top EMBA. See: https://find-mba.com/board/general-forum/is-an-mba-in-switzerland-worth-to-get-a-job-in-ch-coming-from-o-g-industry-64071&nbsp;

Unfortunately I could not yet get the kind of reply I expected, some&nbsp; omments were unfortunately off topic :) by the way I have a B2 German knowledge and trying to further improve, not sure this can help.

Are you asking me how to calculate NPV?

[quote]Are you asking me how to calculate NPV? [/quote] I am trying to understand why you say so, I know how to calculate NPV, but I do not understand why say FT has a higher NPV than a PT. Maybe an example? Anyway let's hope that somebody else might bring his/her experience about Part-time MBA :)

The fulltime MBA produces a larger uplift in income.&nbsp;
