Institutes and centers

To a great extent, the University of St.Gallen is characterised by its over 40 institutes, research centers and centers.

The largely autonomously organised institutes are predominantly self-funding, but are closely connected with the University’s operations. About 80 per cent of all full professors are part of an institute or research center. The institutes constitute an alliance of chairs related by their subject-matter, thus pooling their competences under one umbrella. Besides basic research, they are also involved in practice-relevant education, research and executive education. On this basis, the institutes, research centers and centers contribute towards the fact that the HSG is approx. 50% self-financing.
