The MSc in International Business starts in mid-September and admits once a year, with a single application deadline rather than rolling rounds — the 2026 intake closed on 15 June 2026, slightly earlier than ZHAW's other master's programmes. International applicants should apply early for visa processing; the deadline for the 2027 intake is not yet published.
Exact dates for the upcoming intake are confirmed against the school's official admissions page as they are published.
