LinksMBA Director's BlogMBA Student BlogOmnium Global Executive MBA Video The University of St.Gallen for Business Administration, Economics, Law and Social Sciences (HSG) was founded in 1898 as a «business academy» and enrolled its first students in 1899. It became a «business university» in 1911, and continues to this day to pursue the goal – as relevant then as now – of providing its students with a practice-oriented education. When, in 1963, it moved to new accommodation on the Rosenberg, it had some 1,000 students and 27 professors. At the beginning of 2000, there were about 4,700 students and some 80 professors.
Our «Vision 2005» is formulated in the following terms: «We intend to achieve international recognition as one of Europe’s leading universities, both with respect to scholarship as well as practical application. In this endeavour, we are guided by an integrative view of business, economics, law and social sciences.»
In terms of numbers, the University of St. Gallen may well be one of Europe's smaller universities, but it has Switzerland's largest «faculty of economic sciences». It concentrates on the training and continuing education of experts and leaders in business, public administration, and the law. The University is financed by the Canton of St. Gallen, which gives it far reaching autonomy.
The University of St. Gallen offers courses of study in the areas of Economic Sciences, Law and Political Science. A broad, cross-disciplinary orientation- the University also has a Cultural Sciences Department - clearly-structured, binding curricula, and a demanding examination system are characteristic features of studies here.
The curriculum is based on a sequence of three levels: Assessment, Bachelor’s and Master’s. The Assessment Year aims to establish, at the very beginning of their studies, whether new students are suited for the courses offered at the University. In the next stage, the Bachelor’s Level, students choose a major in the Economic or Social Sciences or Law. Finally, the Master's programmes are research-based, and demand independent scientific work, leading, after one or two years, to the corresponding Master's degree.
The curriculum is structured along three tracks: Contact Studies (lectures, exercises, seminars), Self-Study (independent acquisition of new areas of knowledge) and Contextual Studies (training in procedural, intellectual and cultural skills).
The University has long regarded continuing education as one of its central tasks. Thus, with its programme of public lectures, it is a kind of «Open University» for the people of the region. As early as 1968, it created the Continuing Education Centre, and many of its institutes offer courses and other opportunities to update one's knowledge.
The Executive MBA programme has existed since 1987, and, since 1988, the KMU, a course of intensive studies for management in small and mediumsized enterprises.
Research at the University of St. Gallen is centred around the more than two dozen institutes and research groups. These are integral parts of the University and closely linked with it financially, structurally and especially at the staff level, as the directors of the institutes are professors. On the other hand, the institutes are largely autonomous units run on entrepreneurial lines and are, to a considerable extent, self-supporting. An important element of their financial resources are the fees generated by courses that they offer (based on their research and practical experience), by research carried out for third parties and by other services.
The institutes differ widely in their size, structure and goals. Some concentrate on research that is specific to given subjects or business sectors, others concern themselves more with topics of relevance to teaching. Some work in traditional areas of the Economic Sciences, Law and the Social Sciences, others deal with areas that have only recently become prominent, such as information, media and communication management, or the tensions between ecology and the economy. The institutes provide important input for teaching at the University, and play a significant role in research and in furthering the careers of young academics.
The University has continually extended its network of exchange and cooperation agreements with internationally prominent business schools and universities in Europe, North and South America and Asia. Thus, in 1990, the University, 25 per cent of whose student body consists of foreigners, became a member of the CEMS (Community of European Management Schools). As a result, our best students can obtain a European diploma, in addition to their «home» degree.
A total of more than 60 universities belong to our exchange network, and a proportion of these have concluded «dual-degree» agreements with us. In the future, courses will become even more international, and, today there are already programmes at the Master's and doctoral levels that are taught exclusively in English.
The University is also known nationally and internationally for its annual ISC Management Symposium as well as for its architectural individuality, which is characterised by a close integration of art and architecture, the University can be regarded as an artistic whole to which constructional and pictorial art both make their own unique contributions. Works by Jean Arp, Joan Miró, Georges Braque, Alicia Penalba and Antoni Tapiès are integrated into the 1963 building (architect: Walter M. Förderer) just as those of Enzo Cucchi, Martin Disler, Gerhard Richter, Josef Felix Müller and Luciano Fabro are integrated into the building that was designed by Bruno Gerosa and opened in 1989.
