Individual study programmes DM2 and FGV

All DM2 and FGV double degree students will have their own individual study plan. Therefore, no general study programme overview can be given. All applicants should carefully consider which Master programme they would like to choose at the partner school. Generally, each Master combination is possible, although some programmes or courses may not be compatible in regards to con tent. In the application form students should explain their motivation for choosing a certain combination. It is also possible to combine similar programmes, for instance Marketing, Services and Communication Management (MSC) at the Uni versity of St.Gallen and the Marketing major at ESADE, but only if there are no overlapping courses. The HSG selection committee assesses whether the chosen Master course combination is feasible. In a second step the partner university will also need to approve the proposed study programme. Students will be informed once both universities have approved the study proposal.
