Admission to the Master's programme in Banking and Finance (MBF)

Programme organised by the School of Finance,
taught in English,
selection process for all applicants.

Requirements

Recognised degree with at least 180 ECTS credit points

You may apply to this Master's programme if you hold, or will have obtained one of the following degrees from a recognised university before this programme starts:

  • University Bachelor's degree in Economic Sciences (at least 60 ECTS credit points in the economic core areas Business Administration and Economics and also at least 6 ECTS credit points in Mathematics/Statistics)
  • A Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from a recognised university of applied sciences with a minimum average grade of 5.00 (Swiss grading) or 2.00 (German or Austrian grading) in the degree certificate (at least 90 ECTS credit points in the core areas Business Administration, Economics, Law and Mathematics/Statistics; thereof 45 ECTS credit points in Business Administration).
  • Consecutive university Master's degree in another discipline
    Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes must have been completed in the same discipline (consecutively) and amount to at least 270 ECTS credits points together.

Your degree programme will be recognised if the following criteria are fulfilled:

  • Your final degree certificate was awarded by a university which is recognised in the country where you attended the course.
  • You have completed at least 80% of your course work at a recognised or accredited university.
  • You have completed at least half of the course work onsite at the university awarding the degree.
  • You fulfil the minimum requirements for admission to the Master's degree programme at your home university.

More information on the recognition of universities, university degrees as well as country-specific provisions can be found in the admission rules and regulations, the implementation provisions as well as the directives.

Language requirements in the language of instruction English

It is your responsibility to ensure that your command of the language of instruction is sufficient to allow you to complete your studies successfully. Recommended level at the start of the study is at least C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).



Selection process

If formal admission regulations are fulfilled and all documents have been submitted, we forward your application to the "MBF Admission Committee" for the selection process. More information on the selection process can be found in the "MBF Grading Scale" fact sheet.

The following criteria are assessed in the selection process:

Average grade during undergraduate studies (30%)

The average grade recorded on your degree certificate is decisive. If you do not have your final degree at the time of application, you must apply with a current transcript.

GMAT or GRE score (30%) 

An application can only be made with the following minimum score:
GMAT 680 points (Total Score), GRE revised General Test 162 points (Quantitative Reasoning section).
If your GMAT or GRE score is below the stated minimum score, your application will not be considered in the selection process.

When evaluating GMAT scores the total score is taken into consideration, while for the assessment of GRE scores the Quantitative Reasoning section is decisive. If you have taken the test several times, the test with the best results will be considered.

Test results may not be older than 5 years and must be made available electronically to us by GMAC or ETS before the closing date for applications. Therefore it is important to state the Institution Code of the University of St. Gallen when taking the test. Should you have failed to do so, then instruct GMAC or ETS to provide us with your test results in a timely manner. (institution code GMAT 5RK-QG-07, GRE 7202)

Students with a Bachelor's degree from the University of St. Gallen or another Swiss university (not a Swiss University of Applied Sciences) can choose to, but do not have to, submit their GMAT or GRE test results. The GMAT or GRE scores are compensated by doubling the weighting of the average grade.

Extracurricular activities (15%)

Commitments and activities outside of your studies, such as work experience, challenging internships or exchange semesters are only considered if you furnish proof thereof. List all of these activities on your curriculum vitae and upload proof thereof in the extracurricular activities section. The curriculum vitae must be written in English. Use our style template or a CV of your own. Please make sure to include all the information listed in the fact sheet "Curriculum vitae requirements".

Letter of motivation (25%)

Describe in English on no more than three pages why you would like to do the MBF degree course, where and how you carried out any extracurricular activities, international experience and what kind of work experience you already have. A high level of fluency in English is required. Use our style template.



Programme-specific additional requirements

Upon admission additional requirements may be requested. The MBF Integration Days must be completed before the Master's degree programme starts.

MBF Integration Days

The compulsory "MBF Integration Days" last several days and take place at the beginning of September (calendar week 36).

The MBF Integration Days are an exclusive series of sessions which will prepare you for the MBF programme and include among others an international team building event and several finance and banking related presentations. You can start your Master's degree only once you have successfully completed the MBF Integration Days.

Additional language requirements

All students must take two language courses (foreign languages) in addition to their Master’s degree course to successfully complete their Master's degree programme. Crediting is possible according to the "fact sheet concerning language requirements".

Evidence of sufficient accounting knowledge

All students must provide evidence of sufficient accounting knowledge to successfully complete their Master's degree programme.

If you have already acquired sufficient knowledge of accounting during your studies, the evidence can be credited during the admission process. If this evidence is missing at the time of admission, the accountancy examination has to be taken at the University of St.Gallen.



Application

The degree programme starts in the autumn semester. The application is made online. The application fee is CHF 250. Applicants with HSG degree use the Pdf-form to apply (see downloads section).

Application period: 1 October - 30 April

Swiss citizens need their Swiss social insurance number (AHV number) for the application. If you do not know your insurance number, please order a duplicate of your insurance certificate from the Swiss Central Compensation Office in good time.

Alternative master's degree programme

If you apply online before 31 March you have the option to specify an alternative programme in your application. You may choose one of the following programmes: MBI, MiMM, MUG, MAccFin, MEcon, MIL.

Only if in the selection process your application is rejected, will your application be checked again. If all formal admission requirements are fulfilled for the chosen alternative programme, the admission process starts for this alternative programme.

Read up about language of instruction, admission requirements, and the admission process of the chosen alternative programme before you apply.
