The Business School of the Future Offers Key Insights.

Our business school is a business school of the future. We are very diverse and offer you flexibility with less administrative red tape. Our professors are global experts in their fields. They typically come from other academic institutions for short teaching stints at our business school, bringing with them the latest insights in the fields of management and business.

Our educational methods are different: Rather than listening to a monologue, you will participate in thematic discussions with the professors, for our business school is a meeting place! You will network with fellow participants as well as faculty members – establishing valuable contacts for life.

We have a vision of a new way of learning – tailored to the real needs of the 21st century. Learning which is eclectic and suits your personal needs and can be pursued while you work in your current position. What you learn at the Lorange Institute you can immediately put into practice on the job.

We broaden your view of business challenges and solutions and present the latest in practice and theory. And we challenge you to discover your limits. Our programs are not just programs. They are innovative learning experiences that will change the way you look at business challenges and think about the values which lie beyond the balance sheet.

Although we are at the forefront of academics, we are not locked away in an ivory tower. We are practical and pragmatic. At Lorange, you will solve current, real-life problems relating to leading companies. Change the way you act as a leader and fulfill your potential with a degree from the Lorange Institute of Business.

Yours sincerely,
Peter Lorange

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:
