The University of St. Gallen was founded as a business school in 1898, becoming a university in 1911. Our aim for over a century has been to provide our students with an unparalleled practice-oriented education. We offer a full range of undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral and executive programs and were the first university in German-speaking Europe to offer an Executive MBA program.

Boasting the largest business faculty in Germany and Switzerland, we aim to develop future leaders in business, public administration and law. An integrative view of economics, business administration, law, social science and the humanities characterizes our profile and provides students with a holistic education at the highest academic level. In business administration, our St. Gallen Management Model is intended to enable students to understand the diverse aspects of today's management challenges in an overall context.

St. Gallen enjoys an unrivalled reputation in Europe.  Our alumni hold leadership positions in major multinational companies. Thanks to our unique educational model, we were the first German-speaking university in Europe to receive both leading international seals of quality, the European EQUIS and the American AACSB accreditation.
