CASE WORKSHOPS
We organize weekly case workshops at ETH Zurich and the University of Basel throughout the semester.
You can register by selecting a workshop in the calendar below.
QUESTIONS & CANCELLATIONS: If you have any questions about registration or case preparation, feel free to reach out at nina.han@graduateconsultingclub.org (for Zurich workshops) or manuel.bonaglia@graduateconsultingclub.org (for Basel workshops). If you can’t make it, please cancel your registration by email at least 6 hours in advance. Repeated no-shows may be excluded from future events.
What is a case interview?
A case interview is a short, hypothetical business problem used to assess how you think and solve problems, similar to real consulting work — compressed into ~30–40 minutes.
Why do we practice?
To train the core skills interviewers look for: structured thinking, hypothesis-driven analysis, clear math, and data-backed recommendations.
How does it work?
The workshops start with a short intro and tips session led by GCC members (sometimes with additional insights from alumni). After that, you’ll pair up with another participant and practice two cases, switching roles so you act as both interviewer and interviewee.
How to prepare?
Pick a case from our case library or any online case book, read it, and note opening prompt, key numbers + exhibits, “hidden info” to reveal when asked, and expected solution.
If you’re new, it’s also totally fine to join and observe first! No pressure to solve cases on day one.

Zurich Monday Case Workshop is Evolving This Fall
Zurich Monday Case Workshop is Evolving This Fall
This semester, we are introducing a new and improved Monday Case Workshop in Zurich: a structured, full-semester bootcamp built around learning—not just repetition.
Every session will follow a Learn + Practice format. We will begin with a focused introduction to an essential case-solving concept, then apply it immediately through guided exercises and live case practice.
Across 14 Monday sessions, participants will progress from case fundamentals, MECE structuring, case math and exhibit reading to advanced frameworks, alumni-led sessions, timed mock interviews and a final team case competition.
The programme is designed for both newcomers and returning participants. Whether you are learning how to approach your first case or preparing for upcoming consulting interviews, each week will give you a clear new skill to develop and practice.
