HSG has been part of St.Gallen for more than one hundred years, originally as a “business academy” and today as a university. We give our students the opportunity to profit from an ideal mix of research and practical experience.
In order to facilitate top achievements in teaching and research, all aspects must be right. Each and every person who is part of the university is dedicated to quality. The following pages provide information about the people behind the organisation of the University of St.Gallen and the services we provide.
The University of St.Gallen has five schools. These are the "School of Management", the "School of Humanities and Social Sciences", the "Law School", the "School of Finance" and the "School of Economics and Political Science".
Bachelor’s and Master’s Programmes
Our five schools are responsible for the teaching at the HSG and offer a large number of Bachelor’s, Master’s and Ph.D. programmes. The members of all of the schools actively advance the research in their field and each school is responsible for at least one Profile Area.
Integrative Education
Our schools provide an holistic and practical education, which extends beyond their own subject area. The largest area of integrative teaching is Economics, where the "School of Management" (SoM), the "School of Economics and Political Science" (SEPS) and the "School of Finance" (SoF) are all active. The "Law School" (LS) is oriented towards Business Law and offers degree programmes where students gain considerable practical experience.
The "School of Humanities and Social Sciences" (SHSS) fulfils a special role. It brings together twelve different subject areas from the humanities and social sciences and gives students a broader academic education, targeted to supplement their main programme of study.
