Five Reasons to choose this Bachelor's Program

Take the first step towards a rewarding career in International business

You’re graduating (or have graduated) high school, and are wondering what the next step should be towards a rewarding and lucrative career connected to Europe? Then this program is for you! Join an international group of students with the common goal of being the best of the best at the forefront of international business - a fantastic three-year learning (and networking) opportunity!

Learn in a highly international environment that puts YOU at the center

Let’s face it: most German university programs, no matter how modern or forward-thinking they try to be, will ultimately be mostly for Germans, in German, and about Germany.

Enjoy excellent job opportunities in an array of fields

It’s no secret: Business is an excellent field to go into in terms of finding varied, challenging, and well-paid job opportunities! What’s more, nearly every large business now has extensive international networks, meaning you are entering a growing area of an already highly promising field. What’s more, around 80% of program participants go on to complete a consecutive master’s program at HTW Saar, allowing you the opportunity to further hone your skills (and boost your credentials!).

Study in Saarbrücken, an approachable city at the crossroads of Europe

HTW Saar is located in Saarbrücken, a town located at the very heart of Europe. You can be in France in just minutes, and the major airports of Frankfurt and Luxembourg are well within reach. Saarbrücken itself offers a comfortable, laid-back city atmosphere while simultaneously offering everything a student would need, while remaining highly affordable. Enjoy all the Schengen area has to offer… choose HTW Saar, and choose Saarbrücken!
