Your questions
about studying at SALM.
Check how enquiries work, what to confirm about a programme, and how to prepare before applying.
Programmes & qualifications
Ask us a questionWhat is the difference between SALM courses and partner programmes?
SALM course interests cover focused professional subjects: digital marketing, project management, cybersecurity and data science, and tourism and hospitality management. Partner programme interests concern undergraduate or postgraduate qualifications. For either route, confirm the actual programme, awarding organisation and availability with admissions.
Are the subject pages confirmed courses I can enrol in?
No. They explain fields of study and help you prepare an enquiry. A subject interest is not an offer of a qualification. Admissions must confirm the programme title, award, delivery arrangements, entry requirements, intake and fees before you apply.
How can I check whether a qualification meets my needs?
Request the exact award title and awarding organisation, then check recognition with the employer, university or relevant authority where you intend to use it. Recognition depends on the qualification and its intended use; studying in Switzerland alone does not establish it.
Can I study alongside my job or from another country?
Ask admissions to confirm the timetable, attendance requirements, delivery location and any online study for the programme you are considering. Do not assume that a subject listed on this website is available part-time or online.
Admissions & fees
Ask us a questionWhat happens after I contact admissions?
Your enquiry gives admissions your contact details, subject interest and preferred timing. The team can then discuss a suitable programme and explain the application process. Before applying, request written confirmation of the qualification, awarding organisation, entry requirements, fees and available intake.
Can I enquire without choosing a programme?
Yes. Select “Help me choose” on the form. Tell us your previous studies, work experience and the subject you want to develop. Do not send certificates or identity documents with your first enquiry.
What qualifications do I need to apply?
Requirements depend on the programme and level of study. Admissions must confirm which previous qualifications, professional experience and language evidence are accepted for your chosen programme. A subject page alone does not establish eligibility.
How much does studying at SALM cost?
There is no single fee covering every study option. Ask for the total programme fee in writing, the payment schedule, and which costs are excluded. Check assessment or awarding fees, materials, accommodation and any internship costs before making a commitment.
Does sending an enquiry reserve a place?
No. An enquiry is free and is not an application, offer of admission or reservation. Admissions will explain the separate application and acceptance steps for a confirmed programme.
Do I need to upload documents?
No. This website collects enquiries and application interest, not application documents or payments. If documents are required later, admissions will explain what to provide and how to submit them securely.
Planning your studies
Ask us a questionWhat is SALM?
SALM stands for Swiss Academy of Leadership and Management. Its focus is leadership, management and professional education, with enquiries covering SALM course interests, partner qualifications and internships.
Where will I study, and can I visit?
The website shows the Canton of Vaud, Lake Léman and the Alps. Landscape and illustrative interior photographs do not identify a teaching campus. Ask admissions for the confirmed teaching address and visit arrangements for your chosen programme before booking travel.
Can SALM confirm my visa or right to work?
An enquiry or expression of interest does not grant permission to study or work in Switzerland. Ask admissions for the confirmed programme arrangements, then check the requirements for your circumstances with the relevant Swiss authorities.
What does the admissions preparation tool do?
It helps you choose a subject interest, note your preferred timing and prepare a checklist. You can download the plan or include it with an enquiry. No account is required, and completing it is not a formal application.
Internships
Ask us a questionDoes SALM guarantee an internship or a job?
No. An internship enquiry does not guarantee a host, placement, salary or employment. The proposed pathway is subject to availability and individual eligibility. Obtain the confirmed terms before making travel or study arrangements.
What should I check before accepting an internship?
Confirm the host organisation, role, location, dates, working hours, supervision, any pay or fees, insurance and required permissions. Ask how the placement relates to your studies and who to contact if a problem arises.
Institutional partnerships
Ask us a questionWhat information should an institution include?
Provide the institution name, contact person, subject or programme interests, intended intake and proposed collaboration. It helps to describe the students concerned, the intended qualification and which teaching or operational responsibilities you want to discuss.
Can we discuss delivering a programme in Switzerland?
Yes. Schools, colleges and universities can enquire about potential delivery arrangements. The discussion must establish academic responsibility, awarding arrangements, resources, location and operating requirements. No delivery arrangement is confirmed until formally agreed.
Does submitting the form establish a partnership?
No. It starts an assessment of the proposed collaboration. Neither institution should announce a partnership or use the other’s identity as a partner until the terms and permissions are agreed.
