In total 33 students from the Rapperswil area in addition to the cantons of Appenzell Innerrhoden Glarus Schwyz and Zurich are currently taking advantage of the new academic offerings.The Campus Rapperswil which is still known as the Tech Center has therefore significantly expanded its previous range of technology ICT architecture construction and urban planning courses. This is all the more true given the fact that business students at the location also have the option to complete their study programs on a part-time basis. In this way the courses appeal to people who have already set out on their career paths comments Marion Pester Head of the Economics Department at OST.Ninety percent of graduates already have a job offer before they are awarded their diploma explains Metzger underlining the value of the study programs.
