[edit] History
The Kalaidos UAS is the only Swiss UAS organized according to private law. As such, it does not receive federal or cantonal subsidies, but is also less constraint by bureaucratic rules and regulations.
The academic quality is ensured across all Swiss universities and UAS by a series of federal measures.

[edit] PHW Business School
PHW Business School is a Swiss higher education institution. It is part of the federally accredited Kalaidos University of Applied Sciences, one of eight such universities accredited by the Swiss Federal Council. Students and corporate partners benefit from its hybrid role as the only Swiss university of applied sciences organized according to private law, which allows the school to award nationally and internationally recognized and protected degrees while maintaining a high degree of flexibility and customer focus. With currently three undergraduate and twelve graduate degree programs in the field of business and management, it is one of Switzerland's largest business schools.
