Overview

Excellence Scholarships for Master’s students at the University of St.Gallen are described through the HSG Best Talents Programme (HSG Best Talents). The programme is for outstanding and engaged bachelor’s graduates who wish to pursue a master’s at HSG, and it supports selected participants alongside their studies.

The target group is bachelor’s graduates (EU/EFTA nationals or holders of the Swiss C permit) seeking a master’s at HSG. The selection also considers demonstrated involvement beyond studies, as well as a sense of responsibility towards society, the economy and the environment, and diversity of perspectives.

Selection is based on the stated criteria: excellent grades, demonstrated involvement beyond studies, sense of responsibility (towards society, the economy and the environment), and diversity of perspectives. After completing their studies, applicants are expected to promote and support future Best Talents in the spirit of an alumni community.

For master’s participants, the page states that those accepted into the Best Talents Programme benefit from financial support and a personal development programme alongside their studies. The page provides no further details on support duration, what keeps support in place, or any post-study obligations beyond the expectation to support future Best Talents.
