University College Schaffhausen [Hochschule Schaffhausen] University College Schaffhausen (HSSH) offers courses at Bachelor and Masters levels in Business Administration, Organisational Psychology, Sport and Event Management, with the range of programmes set to grow in the next few years. Considerable emphasis is placed on so-called «Blended Learning» which divides semesters into periods of supported online learning and intensive blocks of face-to-face tuition in Schaffhausen. This model enables students to work or pursue a professional sports career alongside their studies. University College Schaffhausen www.hochschule-schaffhausen.ch
