Hochschule für Wirtschaft Zürich: 1000th diploma in Bachelor Business Communications presented
At the graduation ceremony held by HWZ Zurich University of Applied Sciences on October 12 at Fraumünster Church, 133 graduates received their well-deserved bachelor’s degrees in Business Communications. Simone Sommer, the 1,000th graduate of this program—which was launched in 2003—received a bouquet of flowers along with her diploma.
The keynote address for the students was given by Viktor Calabrò, CEO, Founder & Chairman of the Board, Coople. With his plea, he advocated for entrepreneurship in Switzerland and encouraged those present to become entrepreneurs. Calabrò has already received several awards as an entrepreneur and in 2016 Coople was the only Swiss company to be included in the list of the 100 most disruptive companies in the world by the Disrupt 100 organization.
Best career opportunities
With their degree, graduates have access to countless attractive career fields, as program director Bernhard Schweizer explains: "With their eight-semester, part-time degree program, graduates have positioned themselves excellently at the success-critical interface between 'business' and communications: They understand business communications as a strategic value driver in the digital business world and thus make significant contributions to the success of their companies and organizations. With their bachelor's degree, they are well equipped to actively advance their challenging careers in corporate communications, marketing, consulting, or even business management."
To mark the occasion, a bouquet of flowers was presented to Simone Sommer, the 1000th graduate of this degree program launched in 2003.
