University of St. Gallen MiM Class Profile

The University of St. Gallen is a Swiss public university, so SIM-HSG students pay regulated public-university tuition rather than market-rate fees. The full 18-month program costs CHF 9,987 — roughly a tenth of peer private programs. Living costs in Switzerland are high (CHF 24,000–30,000 per year is typical), so the total cost of attendance is competitive rather than cheap in absolute terms, but the tuition itself is unusual.

SIM-HSG enrols around 52 students per intake — one of the smallest top-ten MiM cohorts in the world. The small class is intentional. SIM is a selective signature programme within HSG's broader masters portfolio, and the school protects intimacy in seminars and group work. Most modules cap at 25–30 students and faculty access is materially closer than at larger programs.
