International HSG students can find assistance with the planning of their entry into an occupation in Switzerland at the office of the Career & Corporate Services Team of the University of St.Gallen. We provide information on the legal and cultural practicalities of entering the Swiss job market.
In order to support them in all aspects of their transition into employment, the Career & Corporate Services Team offers a range of specialised student career services.
Work permit
Foreign students wanting to work in Switzerland need to notify the competent authorities and/or apply for a work permit (depending on their nationality), independently of whether the employment is paid or not. Please see "More on topic".
