Yet again, about 100 undergraduate and graduate students, young professionals, career service advisors and anyone interested in studies abroad joined UAS7, the German university liaison offices and other relevant institutions last Friday, March 29, for our annual Germany Grad Fair at the German House.
With many tuition-free, English-taught courses, Germany presents a great opportunity to those seeking a graduate degree abroad. Students interested in graduate degree opportunities in Germany were introduced to these high-quality and affordable university programs and research opportunities in many different fields of study and had the chance to learn relevant details about the German graduate study landscape.
The Germany Grad Fair is designed to help students find the right university or study abroad program, navigate the application and visa processes and its requirements and identify possible funding opportunities. Over the course of three hours, students had a chance to engage with representatives from funding and mobility organizations, language providers and other relevant providers who took the time to answer individual questions.
Halfway through the Germany Grad Fair, attendees received an introduction into graduate studies in Germany by Uschi Niethammer, the Program Officer of the German Academic Exchange Service. This presentation was followed by a panel with Casey Detrow, a former DAAD grantee and Fulbright fellow, Jon Greenberg, Sr. Director of clinical development, who shared their experiences studying in Germany, and discussed how to build an international career.
With many interested attendees, the Germany Grad Fair was a big success! We had a lot of fun at an evening, filled with curious students, informative exchanges and even a UAS7 exchange alumnus, Delcho Ivanov, came by to say ‘hi’.
Thank you to all those who visited Germany Grad Fair and came to meet us on our stand. We are looking forward to welcoming many of you to future degree programs at UAS7 or for an internship or study abroad program.
