The elite is back: Business students are increasingly often unemployed, but the HSG elite factory defies the trend
At some universities, one in six students with a degree in economics can't find a job. Those who study in the right place make a career. A visit to the University of St. Gallen.
A recent report shows that many university graduates in Switzerland struggle to find employment, particularly those with degrees in economics. According to the Federal Statistical Office, 8.5% of master's graduates in economics were jobless a year after graduation, with some universities faring worse than others. The University of Geneva had the highest rate of unemployment at 17.3%, while the University of St. Gallen had a much lower rate of 2.7%.
The University of St. Gallen, known for its selective admissions process, attributes its graduates' success to its rigorous academic standards.
