What membership gets you

Events we run

Company Events

Workshops and presentations hosted with the firms themselves: M&A cases, valuation sessions, and recruiting talks on their own floors.

Speaker Events

Evenings with the people running the industry, from bank CEOs to fund founders, followed by an open Q&A and dinner.

Networking Trips

Multi-day trips to London, Frankfurt, Munich and Zurich: office visits, trading floor tours, and private dinners with partners and HSG alumni.

Members-only resources

Interview Database

500+ real questions from IB, PE and consulting interviews, filterable by company, division and location, and written up by the members who sat them.

Analyst Guides

Technical handbooks, CV and cover letter templates, and industry primers, kept current by alumni now working at the firms they cover.

Presentation Archive

Every analyst deck from past workshops and pitch sessions, so nothing the club has taught is lost when a board hands over.

Alumni Network

400+ alumni across Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, McKinsey, Blackstone and beyond, reachable while you are still studying.

Before you apply

The application is on UniClubs and takes a few minutes. Having these ready makes it quicker.

Required

  • First and last name
  • University email (@student.unisg.ch)
  • Private email address
  • Degree and study programme
  • Expected graduation date

Optional

  • LinkedIn profile
  • CV
  • GPA

Optional now, but they are what recruiters at our events look at first.

Coming to what you sign up for

Places at our selective events are limited and almost always oversubscribed, so a place you take is a place someone else did not get.

If you cannot come, tell us at least 2 working days beforehand and we can offer your place to someone else. Cancelling later than that, or not turning up, counts as a no-show. Two no-shows within 6 months means no HIC events for the following 6 months.

This applies to selective events only. Your record is shown in the member area once you join.
