| University profile | The University of St.Gallen (HSG) was founded as a business academy in 1898 - in the heyday of the St.Gallen embroidery industry and is nowadays a School of Management, Economics, Law, Social Sciences and International Affairs. The first lectures were held in 1899. The practice-oriented approach and integrative view have characterised the education we offer since those early days. Today, we are one of Europe's leading business schools and are EQUIS and AACSB accredited. |
