New School of Computer Sciences at HSG
(University of St.Gallen, August 20, 2020)
As of August 2020, the University of St.Gallen founded a new School of Computer Science (SCS-HSG), which, starting in September 2021, will welcome its first students in its newly created, English-taught Master’s program in Computer Science. A corresponding Bachelor’s program is scheduled to follow in 2022. Conducted under the slogan “where Computer Science meets Entrepreneurship,” these new programs aim to combine technical computer science insights with general education courses that address contemporary issues, in order to develop competences in new business models, digital innovation, entrepreneurship and leadership. Furthermore, according to Professor Barbara Weber, the SCS-HSG strives to cooperate on projects with leading economic actors of eastern Switzerland and to establish themselves as an internationally recognized hub for computer science.
