University of St. Gallen, Research university in canton St. Gallen, Switzerland.
The institution is a public university in canton St. Gallen focused on business, law, and social sciences. It sits on Rosenberg hill above the old town and includes several modern buildings with lecture halls, libraries, and administrative spaces.
The school was founded in 1898 as a trade academy and gained the right to award doctorates in 1939. It later became a public university with broader subjects.
The campus displays artworks in many hallways and courtyards, including pieces by artists such as Miró and Varlin. This collection has grown over decades and connects learning with a gallery that students experience daily.
The grounds spread across several buildings on a hillside, and visitors can enter public areas during opening hours. The libraries and cafeterias are often accessible to guests as well.
The school has produced more billionaires among its graduates than any other university in Europe. It also operates the largest business administration faculty in Switzerland.
