Info Session on Studying in Germany

UA Ruhr, together with four students from universities across Germany, will visit the German International School New York (GISNY) to provide 10th- and 11th-grade students with first-hand insights into studying in Germany. The program will address key aspects of higher education in Germany, including selecting an academic program, navigating the application and enrollment process, and understanding the structure of the German university landscape. In addition, the visiting students will share perspectives on academic culture and everyday student life while highlighting opportunities for international exchange. Through group discussions and interactive breakout sessions, GISNY students will gain a comprehensive and engaging introduction to the academic and cultural dimensions of higher education in Germany.
