Welcome to the web pages of the Executive School of Management, Technology and Law of the University of St.Gallen (ES-HSG)! The Executive School is our platform for all post-experience and executive education activities in the fields of management, economics, law, social sciences and international affairs.

At St.Gallen, it is our mission to promote life-long learning at all career levels. We offer MBA, Executive MBA, a range of open enrolment and in-house custom programmes to board members, senior executives as well as to young talents.

Many roads lead to Rome-or indeed, St.Gallen!

We have formats that allow you to study full-time or part-time, in English or German, in Switzerland or across the globe, leading to a certificate, diploma or academic degree.

Executive education at St.Gallen is built on two pillars. First, our programmes feature St.Gallen's top faculty sharing thought leadership in areas such as leadership, finance, strategy, or technology. Second, we believe in partnership. At some schools academics preach and customers are supposed to listen. That is not partnership! At St.Gallen we have always maintained a very close relationship to the business world. Most of St.Gallen faculty have long industry or consulting experience. Customer demand drives our thinking and actions, an attitude that has served our customers well.

The success story of the Swiss and German economies and of the University of St.Gallen go hand in hand. Measured as a percentage of our graduates, we have traditionally supplied the highest share of top executives of all Swiss universities. We are the highest ranked school in our part of the world (in the year 2010 we were ranked no. 16 in the consolidated Financial Times European Business School ranking). We have the largest business faculty of any school or university in the German-speaking world. Today the majority of our activities are offered in English, but of course we also operate in German.

We invite you to contact us and share the St.Gallen experience!
