Optional courses

This optional programme supports around 120 students as they begin their studies at HSG. Students will acquire the knowledge and practical tools necessary for a successful and sustainable learning and development process in their first year. There is a separate registration procedure for this course.

For foreign-language students who did not take their Abitur/Matura or equivalent in German, the University of St.Gallen offers supervised self-study groups during the spring semester to reinforce the learning objectives of the ‘Law I’ lecture. The material is covered at a slower pace, and language issues are taken into account. Participation is via bidding.
