“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!“

“I had an amazing experience in Pforzheim! Due to the internationalization of the university, I had the pleasure to interact with people from all over the world and build friendships. For me, that is the biggest you can get from an exchange program! The receptiveness from everyone in the university and the proximity from the professors to the job market impressed me. This exchange was very important not only for my studies, but for my personal growth and the opportunity it gave me for an internship in Germany.”

I really appreciate the German classes offered by the university to the international students, because they helped me a lot to reach a good command in the German language."

I’m really happy to have the possibility to enjoy studying in a real international environment and get to know so much about different cultures. Professors provide very interesting and interactive lectures with strong impact on solving practical examples. Student’s life at the university is very well developed.

Stephanie, Denmark
“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
“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 met many interesting people from around the world who I would consider to be lifelong friends and have shared many great memories with. I would definitely recommend studying abroad to anyone, especially at Pforzheim Business School!”
