I warmly welcome you to the University of St.Gallen and to our Kick-off Days! No matter whether you are new to studying at the HSG or which level you are at: our Kick-off Days will provide you with support for a successful start to your studies. Here you will find an overview of the week.
Introductory Programme:
Get to know your new university and future fellow students better. Experience a campus and city tour, discover all the study-related services with the help of exciting workshops. And on Thursday evening, toast with your new buddies at Square!
Participation is compulsory for all new Bachelor and Master students without Master-specific events in week 37. Further information and registration under "Introductory Programme".

Each year, the Academic Programme addresses a topical, socially and culturally significant issue. Together with internationally renowned experts and professors, you will develop ideas and visions on a specific assignment in an interdisciplinary project. On the 16 September, within the framework of the Academic Programme, we will move around the term ‘Community’ – thematically and in time and space.
