Testimonials
The practically oriented International Business program at the University of Applied Sciences in Pforzheim enabled me to acquire a broad foundation of knowledge. Especially the close relation to the professors allows the insight into new topics. That's how I came to write my thesis in the field of Artificial Intelligence. With their expertise, inspiration and practical experience, the professors at Pforzheim tremendously support their students.
After two semesters abroad in Hong Kong and Paris and an internship in Frankfurt and New York City, I worked as a financial analyst for a multinational company in Paris for a year after my graduation. Thanks to my studies in International Business at Pforzheim University, I will now start a Master's in International Economic Policy in Paris in September at one of the most renowned universities in Europe, Sciences Po (Paris School of International Affairs).
