EHS Erasmus Hochschule Basel

What EHS Erasmus Hochschule Basel does

EHS Erasmus Hochschule Basel is a privately held, boutique higher education institution incorporated as EHS Erasmus Hochschule GmbH in Basel, Switzerland (commercial register CHE-463.016.115). Founded around 2020 and operating with approximately 11 employees, the institution delivers continuing professional education for working professionals and corporate clients in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), focused on change management, agile transformation, and neuroscience-informed leadership. The school positions itself around small cohorts (maximum 6–15 participants per program) and a proprietary 'Neurodidaktische Co-Creation' learning methodology.

The curriculum is organized as a modular framework ('EHS Lern-Universum') spanning six subject areas — Fundamentals, Strategy, People/Leadership, Execution, Data & AI, and Business Transformation — delivered across CFE (Certificate of Further Education), CAS (Certificate of Advanced Studies), DAS (Diploma of Advanced Studies), and MAS tiered programs, supplemented by a self-study e-learning track and the rent-able 'EHS Lernwelt' learning space in Basel. Pricing ranges from approximately CHF 1,450 to CHF 5,450 per seminar, with examination, certification, and curriculum-customization fees layered on top. Technology is delivered through Microsoft 365 and Teams, with collaborative learning supported by Miro.

The institution generates revenue through two primary streams: open-enrollment individual course fees via direct website registration, and customized corporate inhouse training delivered by named faculty members to enterprise clients. Distribution is hybrid — direct-to-consumer through the website and partner platforms (eduwo, ausbildung-weiterbildung.ch, seminarmarkt.de), supplemented by a reseller channel partnership with Haufe Akademie for the Certified OKR Professional program across the DACH professional education market. Faculty also operate external consulting practices (e.g., b2b-catalyst, BoP-Transformationsteam, Neuroleadership Akademie) that feed both content and a referral pipeline.
