Good reasons why YOU should also spend a semester abroad
- We have a large number of partner universities - currently over 100 in around 35 countries.
- Most of our partner universities - like the Business School at Pforzheim University - are AACSB accredited and therefore meet the highest international standards. For you, this means that you do not have to make any compromises in terms of academics or content.
- 95% of our students' partner university preferences can be taken into account, all others will also receive a place abroad.
- The subjects of the 6th semester of your studies (the so-called "mobility window") are ideal for recognition abroad. You will find the following at most partner universities equivalent courses to this.
- Abroad, on your own, you will also develop personally. This will definitely benefit you in the course of your life.
- Living in a foreign country for a certain period of time helps you to acquire intercultural skills. The need to communicate in a different language on a daily basis enriches your language skills.
- Experience abroad also looks good on your CV when looking for a job later on.
- Last but not least: you will meet lots of new people, make friends for life and have an unforgettable time!
