The University of St.Gallen is more than just an educational institution; it is a place of inspiration where thinking is valued and actively promoted.

Acquiring up-to-date knowledge of a given subject enables members of the HSG community to make an important contribution to social and economic progress and further their own personal development. “From insight to impact” is not just our message/motto; rather, it is a promise to the outside world, against which we can be measured. At the same time, it provides motivation and inspiration for those on the inside.

What is your goal?

The University of St.Gallen provides its students not only with purely technical knowledge but also with a basis for personal development. Think about what kind of profile you want to create on the basis of your interests and skills. Configure your degree course accordingly and plan your way autonomously. For this purpose, we offer not only a wide range of specialist elective courses but further options in contextual studies, such as several foreign languages. Our students can participate in an exchange program with approximately 200 partner universities worldwide. In addition, you can get actively involved in 120 student associations or join the coaching and mentoring programs.
