圣加仑大学成立于一个多世纪前，是一所“商业学院”，专注于管理、人文、法律、金融、政治和社会科学，并专注于实践教育。除了五所学校外，该大学还有29个附属研究所，这些研究所虽然由学术界管理，但作为企业独立运营。圣加仑就是在这里培训许多初级研究人员的，让他们了解专业世界，并为创办分拆公司做好准备
圣加仑市位于瑞士阿尔卑斯山和康斯坦斯湖之间，约有80000名居民，是瑞士年轻人比例最高的城市之一。该大学的校园可以看到城市的景色，距离市中心只有15分钟的步行路程。一些著名艺术家的艺术作品装饰着这些建筑，同时还有一个体育馆和两个托儿所
在学习方面，该大学提供广泛的课程，学生必须参加历史、社会学、心理学、商业伦理和哲学等其他科目的讲座。其目的是让学生批判性思维，并赋予他们应对生活和职业生涯中遇到的社会和文化挑战的技能。
圣。加伦还经营着一所“儿童大学”，面向从小学到六年级的年轻人，在那里他们可以学到在学校可能不会学到的问题，尤其是在大学的商业、经济和法律等关键领域。
Founded more than a century ago as a “business academy”, the University of St. Gallen is focused on management, humanities, law, finance and political and social science, with a focus on practical education. In addition to five schools, the university has 29 affiliated research institutes, which although managed by academics, are run independently as businesses. This is where St. Gallen trains many of its junior research staff, allowing them to understand the professional world and be well placed to start spin-off companies.
The city of St. Gallen itself sits between the Swiss Alps and Lake Constance, has around 80,000 inhabitants, and boasts one of the highest proportions of young people in Switzerland. The university’s campus has a view of the city, and is just a 15 minute walk to the centre. Works of art from a number of famous artists adorn the buildings, while there is also a sports hall and two crèches.
When it comes to studying, the university offers a broad curriculum, and students must attend lectures in additional subjects such as history, sociology, psychology, business ethics and philosophy. The aim is to get students thinking critically, as well as give them the skills to deal with social and cultural challenges they encounter during their lives and careers.
St. Gallen also runs a ‘children’s university’, aimed at youngsters from primary school to sixth form, where they are taught issues that they might not learn about at school – particularly in the university’s key areas of business, economics and law.
