General information
At the Bachelor’s Level you receive a generalist education. You acquire a broad spectrum of knowledge, preparing you for diverse and demanding work.
Our Bachelor programmes (majors) have a regular duration of two years. The allowed number of semesters for the Bachelor's Level is limited to 10 semesters. In general, the programmes are in German, however, some courses are offered also or exclusively in English.
As opposed to the Assessment Level, you must now decide on one of five majors.
The five majors available are:
- Business Administration
- Economics
- International Affairs
- Law
- Law and Economics
Elective subjects
The major can be intensified or broadened with elective subjects, making it possible to individualise the degree course. A third of the courses of the Contact Studies are available for this purpose. You can make this selection from the courses from the University of St.Gallen, and with some limitations, also from other programmes at other universities.
The three-pillar model of course remains in place at the Bachelor's Level. You therefore complete 25% of your course work in the Contextual Studies, where a wide range of courses is available to you regardless of your major.
