At the University of St.Gallen (HSG), you will quickly come into contact with leading companies in your industry that are on the lookout for new employees. For top jobs involving specialist and managerial responsibilities, they increasingly need individuals who are not only familiar with best practice methodology but also bring a holistic view and integrative thinking. At HSG, we not only help place you in contact with top employers who are currently recruiting – we also provide careers counselling in our own Career Centre.
