In short this DBA/Phd is worthless.
Now if you want to know why, continue reading. They are not on the list https://www.swissuniversities.ch/en/topi...stitutions , and from what i gathered they opened shop in 2019 march. ( i have to say they are well funded you could say too well funded)
Because they do not hold the Swiss Federal accreditation they have no ties to any University or College, which means they can not award doctoral degrees (wording is here everything).
So you ask your self how do the Swiss allow this, i dont know but this is what they say in the Geneva Canton, https://www.ge.ch/en/authorizations-open...te-schools
"According to the Federal act on the Funding and Coordination of the Higher Education Sector (HEdA), the designations "university", "university of applied Sciences" or "university of teacher education" and derived designations such as "university college" or "UAS college" can only be used by private institutions that have been institutionally accredited by the Swiss Agency for accreditation and quality assurance (AAQ). For further information : http://www.aaq.ch.
In general, private establishments as well as the diplomas that they award are not recognized by the Swiss Confederation nor by the Canton of Geneva. The authorization to operate cannot therefore be considered as recognition or certification."
..but i did get a response from the Canton saying if anyone feels cheated they will help out the best they could when dealing with these type of "schools".
At the very best they can award diplomas /but dba/phd do not fall under that category and no you are not getting the Dr in front of your name then. And i tracked back the University/EFZG College in Croatia about SSBM Geneva they referred me to; https://www.efzg.unizg.hr/international-...ents/15448 ..no Swiss on the list.
