Campus
The HSG campus is more than a collection of lecture halls and seminar rooms. It is also a place of encounter and art.
Thanks to its modern learning infrastructure, our campus offers optimal conditions for successful studies. The short distances, the various cafeterias and co-working spaces not only ensure a beautiful environment with lots of greenery and a view over the city, the Swiss Alpine mountains and Lake Constance, but above all many places to meet.

You will need your HSGcard for printing and copying. The library staff will be happy to help you with questions about literature and information searches.

The Student Union (SHSG) is an official sub-corporation of the University of St.Gallen and actively contributes to its development. It is the umbrella organization for all student activities at the HSG. Its central tasks are the coordination of student activities, the facilitation of the flow of information, advisory activities and the representation of interests in the university committees.
At HSG, more than half of all students are involved in one of our 120 clubs or academic fraternities alongside their studies. There are no limits to individual interests thanks to the wide range of activities offered. So you can find a balance to everyday university life and get involved in various student initiatives.
The University of St.Gallen offers its students numerous opportunities to get involved in student initiatives. For example, get involved with the International Department to create encounters between students from all over the world. Or be part of the START Summit, the largest conference for entrepreneurship and technology organized by students.
