Studying at the University of St.Gallen (HSG)

Since its founding in 1898, the education and training offered by the University of St.Gallen have been characterised by a close affinity to the working world and an integrative approach. More than 7,600 students are enrolled at the HSG in Business Administration, Economics, Law and International Affairs; they are supported by over 2,000 professors, researchers and administrators.

School of Management, Economics, Law, Social Sciences and International Affairs

The HSG aims to develop students both professionally and personally by providing them with an education grounded in the humanities. Among the HSG’s general principles is the promotion of interaction between faculty and students in an environment characterised by diversity and synergetic development of regional and international roots. Its international orientation is strengthened by students and faculty coming from all continents, collaboration with 170 partner universities, and active membership in international networks.
For the Master of Arts in Strategy and International Management (SIM) programme, this framework is invaluable. It provides the means and necessary freedom to independently compose a top international management
programme.

The Location

St.Gallen is located in the eastern part of Switzerland and offers its approximately 75,000 inhabitants a historically valuable old town with a great number of shops, street cafes, bars and clubs. The Abbey District with the baroque cathedral and the Abbey Library is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and thus of international significance. St.Gallen’s optimal location between the Alps and Lake Constance provides opportunities in the vicinity for various leisure and sports activities.
