The University is located in St. Gallen, in the German-speaking part of Switzerland; founded as a business academy (1898), in 1911 it got the fully legitimate name of Business University.
By its quantitative indexes the University of St. Gallen (HSG) is one of the smallest European universities, but it has the largest Faculty of Economic Sciences in Switzerland. It focuses on training and continuing education of experts and administrators in the area of business, public administration and law. The educational establishment is financed directly by the canton of St. Gallen, which gives full autonomy to the University. Clearly compiled, compulsory curriculum and strict examination system are main features of studying in the university.
Initially, there were no faculties in the university, but after its reorganization (2011) the 5 major faculties, which are used to be called "schools" were distinguished. The University includes about 40 institutes and research centers.
HSG also cares about its graduates: there is an official alumni graduates’ Association of St. Gallen (including more than 22 000 members, more than 150 "alumni" clubs on five continents) in the university.
Every year the Association organizes about 300 events and appears to be one of the most active organizations of graduates in Europe. The purpose of the activity lies in assisting to promote the establishment of contacts between former students and support of connections with alma mater.
