I joined Frankfurt School in February 2019 as an exchange student. I selected Frankfurt School within the partners of my university because of its reputation in finance. When I arrived, I didn\u2019t know many people, but many events were organized to make us feel welcome and connect with each other. At the end of the exchange I decided to apply to be a full-time student. I believed that it would open a lot more doors for me in the finance<\/a> sector than my previous university ever could.<\/p>\n

Networking Opportunities<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Apart from learning important notions in class, Frankfurt School hosts many events, such as the Career Fair<\/a>, where a lot of companies from Goldman Sachs to Lufthansa come to see the students on campus to talk about job opportunities.<\/p>\n

Conferences<\/a> are also hosted every week on different topics of Finance and Management, such as \u201chow to get a job in Germany as a foreigner\u201d, \u201cFinTechs\u201d, \u201cStart-ups night\u201d, \u201cWomen in Management positions\u201d. The latter is organized by the \u201cWomen in Business\u201d initiative, a society for women to fraternize and support each other in the job market.<\/p>\n

A lot of events are also what we call \u201cBusiness Games\u201d, they are organized by companies in order to select the best students thanks to a practical application of their knowledge. It is an opportunity to be noticed, meet HRs and managers from companies you might be interested in.<\/p>\n

An interesting point to mention is that we get access to a platform \u201cJobteaser\u201d to keep us posted on the events I previously mentioned and on job opportunities, especially the ones that are exclusively reserved for Frankfurt School students. The University has partnerships with a number of companies to give priority to Frankfurt School students when a job offer gets posted.<\/p>\n

Courses at FS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Regarding the courses, they require a lot of personal work in addition to lectures. You can expect group works, case studies and homework. The program is challenging, and a good English is strongly recommended as there can be some extensive reading of academic articles, but nothing impossible with the right amount of work. The exams require more than a basic understanding of the class, and it could be challenging to reach high grades if you are planning to work in parallel.<\/p>\n

Overall, I am very happy with the knowledge and opportunities that was provided to me and I highly recommend you to apply !<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
