The ranking assesses various factors in the areas of students' labor market skills and career opportunities as well as diversity and internationality of the program. The HSLU Master's program is ranked 51st, which puts the HSLU in an exclusive circle in Switzerland: With the University of St. Gallen, the University of Lausanne and the Università della Svizzera italiana (USI), only three other Swiss universities are represented in the ranking. "Our inclusion in the ranking underscores the high quality of our program and the successful combination of academic and practical orientation," says Simon Amrein, who heads the Master's in Banking and Finance together with Florian Schreiber. "In particular, the personal and professional development of the students as well as the quality of the teaching will remain central in the future," says the head of the program.

Since 2020, the program is also part of the University Affiliation Program of the CFA Institute. The training to become a Chartered Financial Analyst® is one of the best-known training programs in the investment sector on an international level. The Lucerne School of Business has also been AACSB accredited since 2021. Only about six percent of the world's business schools carry this seal of approval.
