The University of St.Gallen is fully committed to diversity and inclusion. We implement the measures needed to ensure all our students can pursue their degrees with as few barriers as possible. Eliminating structural and cultural barriers is therefore as important to promoting equal opportunities as providing individual support.
The Special Needs Advice Center serves as the contact point for all questions and concerns related to disability, chronic illness or psychosocial stress.
