Where technology
is being built.

With AI at the core. A Swiss school for people who want to build what comes next: five one-year Masters, two degrees, and two of Europe’s most alive technology ecosystems, Geneva and Barcelona.

{  Our story  }

Born in Barcelona.
Swiss by standard.

These Masters were born in Barcelona, inside a startup ecosystem of more than 1,700 companies, designed by people who were building technology themselves. That origin gave them their instinct: learn by building, not by listening.

Today they carry the DNA of Geneva Business School, one of the most global business schools in Europe, and a conviction that has guided GBS since 1995: education should be built on real business and produce responsible leaders.

At STS, that conviction takes five forms.

1

You study in a cohort of no more than 30, where you are known by name.

2

You are taught, mentored and coached by active professionals, the people who build technology for a living.

3

You spend much of your time on real projects, and you finish with a final project built around a real organisation’s challenge.

4

You belong to the GBS Group: four Swiss schools, three cities, and one network of students, alumni and professionals in business and technology, so your degree opens doors in more than one country and more than one field.

5

And you learn AI and ethics together in every programme, because the people who build what comes next are responsible for what it does.

Born in Barcelona. Built to a Swiss standard.

Read our story

Four promises.

01

Swiss quality.

Your STS Master’s is a Swiss award conferred by Geneva Business School, with Swiss standards of rigour, transparency and trust in everything we do. Two institutions stand behind your degree, and both are judged by what their graduates do.

02

Know-how.

Practitioner-led learning with academic depth beneath it. You learn from active professionals who build technology for a living, on a curriculum that carries the research rigour of the Universitat de Barcelona, and you prove it in a capstone on a real organisation’s problem. Craft and rigour, not one or the other.

03

Geneva.

Study where the world’s institutions meet. Around 40 international organisations, 180 permanent missions and CERN shape the rules technology will live by, and the people who shape them are your neighbours, speakers and capstone partners.

04

Barcelona.

Where these Masters were born, home of MWC, 4YFN and the 22@ district, and home of the Universitat de Barcelona, founded in 1450 and one of Spain’s highest-ranked universities. Its Master’s is the second of your two degrees, whichever hub you study in. A city that has been building knowledge for nearly six centuries, and building technology today.

{  AI at the core  }

AI at the core.
People at the centre.

At STS you do not take one AI course. AI is part of every Master, every week. But technology is only as good as the people who build it and the people it serves.

If you want to lead change, you learn how to build an AI strategy and make it work for a real company, and for the people who work there. If you want to manage products, you learn to design products with AI inside them that people choose to use.

If you love data, you learn to build AI models, put them into production, and understand their effect on real lives. If you work in healthcare, you learn where AI is safe to use with patients, and where a human must decide.

If you are a designer, you learn to design with AI tools, for people, not for machines.

AI can write the code. It cannot ask the right question, judge what is fair, or understand why a user is frustrated. That is your job. So you also learn to think critically, to work in a team, to explain your ideas, and to take responsibility for what you build.

You learn AI. You build with it. You stay in charge of it.

Two ecosystems. Two Awards

GENEVA

Trust, institutions, governance.

WHO, WTO, WIPO and ITU are headquartered here; CERN sits just outside the city. Switzerland ranks first in the Global Innovation Index 2025.

BARCELONA

Startups, product, scale.

MWC and 4YFN every year, the 22@ innovation district, the Barcelona Supercomputing Center.

All five Masters on both campuses. The same two degrees: the STS Master’s awarded by Geneva Business School, and the Universitat de Barcelona Master’s.

{  Our faculty  }

Learn from the people who build it.

Everything at STS begins with our faculty. They are not full-time academics who read about technology; they are professionals who build it every day, and who teach because they want to pass it on. Founders. Product leaders. Data scientists. Designers. Health-tech specialists.

They design the programmes, so what you learn is what the industry needs today & tomorrow. They teach the classes, so every example is real. They mentor your projects, so you are never building alone. And they coach you on your career, so you know where your skills can take you.

In a cohort of 30, your teachers know you. They know your project, your strengths and what you want to do next. That is not possible in a lecture hall of 300. It is the whole point of STS.

Our faculty are the heart of STS, and the foundation of everything we build.

Meet the faculty

Your cohort, and the people who came before you.

“You will not build alone.” Technology is built in teams, and so is an STS Master. Your cohort is small, and it comes from everywhere: different countries, different languages, different first degrees. Some arrive from engineering, some from business, some from design or health. That mix is not an accident. It is how real product teams work, and it is how you learn to work in today’s business ecosystem.

From the first week you build with your classmates. You argue about the problem, split the work, present together and fix what breaks. By the end of the year they are your first professional network, in two of Europe’s most alive technology cities.

And you join a community that is already out there. Our graduates work in startups, in health systems, in product teams and data teams, in Barcelona, Geneva and far beyond. They come back to speak, to mentor and to hire.

{  GBS Alliance  }

Part of the
GBS Alliance.

The GBS Alliance brings together Geneva Business School, Business School Lausanne, the International Institute in Geneva and the Swiss Technology School under one standard. Every school is Swiss-led, every award is Swiss, and every student is taught the way GBS has always taught: in small cohorts, by people who practise what they teach, through work that solves real problems.

Since 1995, Geneva Business School has built its reputation on a simple conviction: that business education should be shaped by real business and produce responsible leaders. That conviction has grown into a family of schools.

For students, the Alliance means more than one school’s name on a diploma. It means pathways between business, technology and applied disciplines, three campuses and an online hub, and a shared network of more than 60 international academic partners that opens doors on six continents. Whichever school you join, you join all of them.

Questions before
you decide.

No. Our programs mix business and tech profiles on purpose: 50 % of participants come from business backgrounds. The 3D Learning methodology takes you from your current level to a real digital project.
