The Germany Grad Fair will give participants the opportunity to meet representatives from German universities, funding agencies and cultural institutions, allowing students and young professionals to make more informed decisions about the most suitable program and university for their specific goals.
Germany has become an increasingly popular destination for US students to pursue their graduate studies (Master’s and PhD). Many degree programs at German universities are taught entirely in English and most have low or no tuition fees.
Participants will gain an understanding of the application process and degree requirements, and they will hear from alumni who will share their experiences studying and/or doing research in Germany and the impact this international experience has had on their career. Participation is free, but registration is required.
Who should attend: undergraduate or a graduate students, young professionals, career service advisors or anyone who is interested in graduate studies in Germany.
