University of St Gallen

Established in 1898, the University of St. Gallen (HSG) is a research university that primarily specializes in business administration, computer sciences, economics, international affairs, and law. 

Located on Rosenberg Hill, it overlooks the Altstadt of St. Gallen, giving a view of the Alpstein mountain range. HSG, which is owned by the canton of St. Gallen, is associated with the Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs (APSIA), the Association to Advanced Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), and the EFMD Quality Improvement System (EQUIS). In 1939, the university became eligible to award doctoral degrees.

The university houses five schools: the Law School, the School of Economics and Political Science, the School of Finance, the School of Humanities & Social Science, and the School of Management.

Apart from that, the University of St. Gallen has 29 affiliated research institutions, where most of its junior research staff are trained, enabling them to understand the professional world and be in a position to initiate offshoot companies.

HSG houses a campus that is home to a renowned learning environment for students. Close to it, there are several cafés, restaurants, chemist shops, and general stores, among others.
