KV Zurich starts the school year 2022/23 with a premiere
The KV Zurich business school started the 22/23 school year this week with 1118 new students - including, for the first time, a group of students who will complete the vocational baccalaureate for adults (BM2) in a bilingual course in German and English.
With 1118 new students (2021/22: 1145), the KV Zurich business school is starting the new school year. Of the prospective business people who began their training at Switzerland's largest commercial vocational school at the start of the school year, 116 students (2021/22: 117) chose the basic basic training (B profile). 711 (2021/22: 698) opted for the extended basic training (E profile). In addition, 291 young people (2021/22: 330) will complete the commercial apprenticeship with vocational baccalaureate (M profile) in the next three years.
Success story "BILI" continues
For the first time in the canton of Zurich, a bilingual course of study for the vocational baccalaureate for adults (BM2-BILI) in the business type will start at KV Zurich in the new school year 2022/23. As in the already successfully launched BILI courses for the vocational baccalaureate (BM1) and the E profile, the subject matter will be taught not only in German but also in English. The students also take the vocational baccalaureate examinations bilingually. For Rector Christian Wölfle, the new course offers several advantages: "BM2-BILI generally improves future opportunities thanks to the expanded general education. In addition, it opens up interesting prospects for linguistically gifted students who, after completing BM2, will find themselves in an increasingly multilingual professional environment or who later aim to study at a technical college or university".
KV Zurich: Switzerland's largest commercial vocational school
Founded in 1887 as the KV Zurich Commercial School, it appeared under the name KV Zurich Business School from 1998 and became the KV Zurich Business School in 2018 after the decoupling of the basic and continuing education departments. Today, the educational institution is the largest commercial vocational school in Switzerland with around 4,200 learners. It is one of the largest educational enterprises in the German-speaking world. At this year's graduation ceremony in Zurich's Hallenstadion, 1248 successful KV graduates received their final diploma.
