What are the admission requirements?

Applicants need a recognised undergraduate degree (for example a bachelor’s) and at least five years of practical experience, preferably including a leadership role. In individual cases, applicants with other qualifications may be admitted “sur dossier” by the Academic Director. Because the program is taught in English, applicants should also have adequate written and spoken English (minimum Cambridge First Certificate or equivalent).

Where does it take place?

The program takes place on campus at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland, primarily at the Executive Campus HSG, with some modules held at Campus E (Hotel Einstein) in St. Gallen.

What is the cohort size and language?

The program is taught in English. A typical cohort contains 20-30 participants.

How much time should I plan for?

The program runs part-time over about six months and comprises 16 on-campus days across five modules. Alongside the classroom days, you complete an Individual Data & AI Innovation Project, which you work on independently at your workplace or at home throughout the program (approximately 10 additional person days).
