- Talented athletes from other sports are classified according to their performance records and recommendations of their federation, their coaches or their clubs. The Swiss Olympic Talent Card is not mandatory, but it does make it easier to clarify matters.

Health requirements

We need the following application documents to check for admission:
- Contact form

Making contact for the first time
Please fill out the online contact form or send it to us completely filled out by post or email.
Early registration, by the end of April, is recommended as the classes are allocated in May and it may no longer be possible to offer all training models. However, applications for the 2020/21 school year are still possible, even at short notice. We do our utmost to ensure that we can offer the most suitable timetable.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us by phone.

Financing
General Information
-
A 2% discount (rebate) is granted for advance payment of the fee for a whole year. The discount is 3% if the total education costs are paid in advance.
-
The costs for all learning materials (textbooks etc.) are not included in the school fees.
- For learners in the M profile, additional basic school costs of CHF 200.00 / month arise in the first three years of training. The additional costs for projects and language certificates in the M profile (around CHF 4000.00) will be invoiced directly by the KV Zurich Business School.
Internship salary
From the third year of their education onwards, students receive an internship wage during their practical in-company training and can thus substantially co-finance the third and fourth year of their education. The monthly wage recommended to the internship companies is around CHF 1’000.00 in the first year of the internship – and around CHF 1’300.00 in the second year of the internship (whereby in the second year, the amount of the agreed percentage of work is also important).
The education costs for school-based and vocational education can be co-financed, if necessary, with the help of the following institutions or facilities:
- Municipalities: scholarships, school fees, loans if necessary
- Cantons: scholarships, school fees, loans if necessary
- Contributions from sports clubs
- Private Sponsors
- Contributions from scholarship funds
- Contributions from foundations
