“Hochschule Pforzheim is a fun and diverse place to study and meet new friends from all over the world. I have enjoyed adapting to a new, German culture including beer, brezels and curry wurst. Pforzheim is full of hidden gems which are perfect to relax in on a sunny afternoon with friends. HS PF has been very welcoming and flexible with the needs of the international students. I loved all of the ‘meet and greet’ type events at the beginning of the semester which helped us meet new people from both Germany and other countries. The ISP and Gemini excursions had been fantastic as well.”

Yu-En, Taiwan, 1-year exchange (2 study semesters)
“It really was a great pleasure to be one of the International students of Hochschule Pforzheim. Initially I planned to stay for one semester only. The high quality of education  provided by the professors, the diversity of cultural interaction and the friendly reception of the ISP however were important factors that made me prolong my stay for another  semester. After one year at Hochschule Pforzheim, my ability of independent thinking, my German and English language skills have been improved tremendously. I highly recommend  to study at the HS PF and experience how wonderful it is here!“

Stephanie, Denmark, 1-semester exchange
“During my exchange at  Pforzheim University, I was fortunate to meet amazing people from across the world, whom I have spent a lot of time travelling with around Germany and its neighboring countries. Both, on my own and with friends, but also thanks to the student organisation Gemini. The geographical location of Pforzheim offers great opportunity for exploring without having to travel far. Being a very international group, I did not only get to know German culture, but so many more cultures represented in our international group. The  HS PF international team and the student organization Gemini go out of their way to give you the best exchange experience possible. I am very grateful for my time and memories created - thank you!"

Camila, Peru, 1-semester exchange
“Studying for exchange at Pforzheim Business School was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life. The people I met here, professors, staff, citizens – and last but not least friends – are the kindest people you could meet. Classes are superb with excellent teaching level in International Business as well as in Industrial Engineering. Likewise, my English skills have massively improved as all of my classes had been given in excellent English. Also, I have to say that I came to Germany speaking almost no German, but now – with the help of the university’s German language classes – I can read and understand quite a lot.”

I would definitely recommend studying abroad to anyone, especially at Pforzheim Business School!”
