Business High School Focus on Business and Law: A direct route to success

Matura courses with a focus on business and law are offered by public and private schools - as full-time schools for children and young people as well as with various time models for adults.

There are long-term grammar schools for pupils who transfer directly from elementary school to the Wirtschaft Gymnasium, and shorter options for those who plan to transfer later - usually after completing lower secondary level.

All Matura courses provide a broad general education. The course comprises 10 basic subjects (German, mathematics, French, English or the third national language, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, history and music or visual arts). Specialization in economics and law takes place in the so-called focus subject. A supplementary subject is added as the twelfth subject. The supplementary subjects are prescribed by some grammar schools with a fixed focus.

The various business courses at the Gymnasium prepare students for the gymnasiale Matura. Successful completion of the course enables examination-free access to all universities (university, ETH) and teacher training colleges (PH) in Switzerland and to many foreign universities.

You can find more information about the Business and Law course at Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch. You can have any provider send you free course documents directly by e-mail and request further information.

Questions and answers

The Business and Law grammar school provides a school education with a focus on these two subjects. A solid basic knowledge of economic and legal issues enables students to make competent decisions and prepares them for later life. In addition to economics and law, students can choose to focus on ethics/ecology, entrepreneurship or immersion English.

Business & Law as the main subject in business at grammar school:

  • Business administration
  • Economics
  • Law
  • Accounting

The most important "subjects at business school" are:

  • Economy and law
  • Mathematics
  • German
  • French
  • English or a third national language

A business school degree provides an insight into the economic background of our society and current economic events in Switzerland and the world. Graduates are familiar with economic, legal and political issues from various perspectives. The knowledge they acquire about the Swiss legal system, legal issues and the problems of current legislative changes helps them to study law.

The Wirtschaftsgymnasium prepares students for a degree in economics or law. However, the economic and legal knowledge they acquire is also helpful when choosing other subjects. The degree opens up attractive career opportunities and can later be helpful when running your own business.

The "Wirtschaftsgymnasium" degree enables access to university professions. Bachelor's degree programs can be completed at Swiss universities, ETH and teacher training colleges (provided there is no numerus clausus). Exam-free access to many foreign colleges and universities is also possible.

It is worth attending a business and law high school in order to obtain the federally recognized gymnasiale Matura. This qualification enables graduates to study at all faculties and departments of Swiss universities and colleges. The course is geared towards studying law or economics.

In addition to the most important subjects, there are also the following business school subjects:

  • Physics
  • Chemistry
  • Biology
  • Geography
  • History
  • Music or visual arts
