Dear prospective students,
As the president of the University of St.Gallen (HSG) I am pleased by your interest in studying at the HSG.
Our Vision
Our studies have a special profile, which is informed by our Vision:
“As a leading business university we set global standards for research and teaching by promoting integrative thought, responsible action and an entrepreneurial spirit of innovation in business and society.“
Holistic education
To attain these goals, we offer you integrative studies at the HSG. In addition to their major, all students must also attend courses in all other HSG core disciplines, as well as courses in the field of Contextual Studies. With courses in, for instance, history, philosophy, business ethics, psychology, and sociology, students not only broaden their intellectual horizon, but also learn new approaches to complex issues.
Assume responsibility
We want our students to become aware of their future role and learn to assume sustainable responsibility for society. The various student initiatives, for instance, provide you with opportunities to do so.
I am confident that your studies at the HSG will both challenge you and propel you forward. I look forward to seeing you here!
Yours sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Bernhard Ehrenzeller, President of the University of St.Gallen
