In 1995, Institut de Formation de Gestionnaire de Patrimoine (IFGP) was established to provide instruction mainly to private bankers in Switzerland. In 2001, as global demand for training in banking and finance outpaced local needs, the School of Finance was created to provide education in international banking and finance. As our strategic position shifted, the name was changed to Geneva Business School (GBS) in 2010 to emphasize the importance of our location, specialty, and specificity of the education we provide.
In 2012, GBS began an ambitious expansion strategy to open new campuses in the world's most strategically significant regions. In addition to our main campus in Geneva, we currently have centers in Barcelona, Moscow, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Dammam, Chengdu, and Astana.
