SIT Study Abroad: Switzerland: Banking, Finance, and Social Responsibility

Discover the dynamic fusion of macroeconomics and global finance with social responsibility and sustainable business in Switzerland.


WHY STUDY ABROAD IN SWITZERLAND?

Combine your interest in ethical banking, sustainable finance, circular economy, artificial intelligence, and cryptocurrencies in Geneva and Switzerland, one of the world’s leading financial centers and a major international hub for international organizations and NGOs. While learning about global finance from a socially responsible and sustainable business perspective and alternative financial systems and intermediation, you’ll build networks with experts at leading financial institutions, nongovernmental organizations, universities and think-tanks. You’ll have the option to intern with a sustainable development company, start-up, or intergovernmental organization or a Swiss or international NGO or conduct research in sustainable development and finance, ethical banking, impact investing, or cryptocurrencies.

QUOTE
"I learned more about myself from this experience abroad. In Switzerland, there are so many opportunities to explore places where your mind, body, and soul could all come into a symbiosis. I constantly was in awe about the things that I saw, and started feeling a little more cognizant of my role as a steward of the earth in protecting these riches given to us by nature. I am proud to say that though things were difficult having been abroad in an environment that was completely unknown, still being able to figure life out was a testament to myself that the sky is truly the limit and staying in your comfort zone is never going to make you grow to your highest limit."
