St. Gallen Practical Studies

Competency-based management training with SGBS degree

Competencies for professional challenges

Anyone who wants to study in St. Gallen has several options. The first decision you should make is: academic or deliberately non-academic? Many managers and top performers from renowned companies consciously choose the non-academic route. They don’t need an university degree. What they are looking for is management training that is really useful: focused on their professional challenges, coordinated with the wishes and needs of the company they work for. This means closing skill gaps; building up new skills for the benefit of the employer; documenting knowledge that can be directly implemented in their practice.

Part-time management training

The St. Gallen Practical Study program is available in 3 formats, all of which offer a clear focus:

Certified Experts

New competencies

Do you want to study, but only learn what you really need? No “cramming” just to pass the exams? Instead, practice underpinned by new knowledge. Do you want to work with students who, like you, already have experience and successes, so that you are in a professional and non-student environment?

Your motto: New skills. A non-academic degree from SGBS that documents that you have acquired new skills and can use them for the benefit of your employer.

St. Gallen Certificate Programs

A wealth of knowledge with depth

Focus: In-depth knowledge and skills in a specific subject area. A crash course in finance or strategy or marketing or leadership. With documentation of knowledge and the ability to put it to good use.

The certificate programs offer further training with depth. In a short space of time, you will build up the skills you need now to take advantage of a career opportunity, to successfully complete an important task and to be shortlisted as a successor.

Extended Certificate

Management Certificates are training in management and leadership, but with an extended certificate: First you attend a 3 or 4-day seminar. There you will learn the latest knowledge on a specific topic.

A few weeks later, you take part in the 4-day certification module in St. Gallen. There you will apply what you have learned in an interactive learning experience. Your active involvement in small groups is rewarded with the Management Certificate from St. Gallen Business School.
