The St.Gallen MBA was founded in 2005 as part of the University of St.Gallen's internationalisation strategy and as quickly grown to become one of the flagship programmes at the university.

Initially offering a Full-time MBA, which is now successfully ranked internationally, a Part-time study option was added to the MBA in 2008.  The Full and Part-time MBA programmes are based on the same philosophy of integrative management from the St.Gallen Management Model and share much of the same content and faculty.  We also limit both classes to no more than 50 participants in order to foster both a healthy pedagogical environment as well as a closeknit and durable network. Small class sizes also enable us to provide a high level individualised career services and coaching, as well as facilitating close interaction with faculty and guest speakers.

Upon successful completion of the MBA programme students will be granted the degree of Master of Business Administration from the University of St.Gallen (MBA-HSG).

In addition to the MBA programmes, we also offer the Programme for Leadership Development (PLD). The PLD comprises 10 monthly modules of core General Management curriculum from the Part-time MBA programme and is supplemented by a specialized Leadership module (LEAD) taught throughout the programme.  PLD graduates have the option of continuing their studies by applying for a place in the Part-time MBA.

All of our programmes are taught entirely in English. Students are encouraged to take advantage of complementary language courses. German language classes are mandatory for participants not speaking German. 

Each programme and intake at the MBA has its own unique benefits and advantages and we would be happy to talk to you about your choices and suitability.
