StGallen Management Programme CAS
Certificate of Advanced Studies with 20 ECTS
Sixteen days of St. Gallen management expertise – with a flexible entry point
One programme. One certificate.
General management as
a whole.
Not four separate topics, but one connected management task – with coaching alongside.
Four disciplines, one connected whole
General management is more than the interplay of individual functions: decisions take effect across functional boundaries.
Modular, not in one block
Sixteen programme days, spread across on-site blocks and hybrid days – easy to plan around day-to-day business.
A qualification with 20 ECTS
The programme leads to the Certificate of Advanced Studies – in cooperation with Steinbeis Hochschule.
Five modules, one certificate qualification
In sixteen days, the StGallen Management Programme CAS covers the core tasks of corporate leadership: integrated management and strategy, financial leadership, leading people, and market, brand and sales management – accompanied by coaching and peer learning.
The modules follow a shared frame of reference: the St. Gallen understanding of integrated general management, which relates strategy, organization, finance, markets, people and culture to one another. The fifth module brings what has been learned together in your own leadership practice.
Entry is flexible: several runs in German and in English are available for every module. The programme concludes with the certificate.
