Günter Wörl (Head of the CareerCenter University of Hohenheim):

The German economy needs talent. International students bring valuable perspectives and skills, have completed an excellent education at the University of Hohenheim, and still need support for a successful transition into the job market. This support is provided through the BRICKS program – a bridge between university and the workforce.

Prof. Dr. Bernd Ebersberger (Head of the M.Sc. International Business and Economics)

International students bring fresh perspectives – and the Stuttgart region offers them excellent opportunities. Those who establish contact with the business world early often stay even after graduation.
