Frequently asked questions
What does the FT number-one ranking actually measure?
The Financial Times Masters in Management ranking weights three-year-post-graduation salary, career progression, international experience, faculty research, and a battery of school-reported metrics. St. Gallen has placed 1st in 14 of the last 15 rankings — the most consistent top finish of any school globally. The combination of small cohort size, strong careers outcomes, and high international exposure drives the score.
Where do SIM-HSG graduates work?

Geographic placement is concentrated in the German-speaking economies — Switzerland, Germany, and Austria — with material flow into London, the Nordics, and the United States.
