The School of Business and Economics of Tübingen University does its best to help exchange students from each country adapt well to the university. It is a great advantage that there are many classes in English, so exchange students can choose between various options.

The University of Tübingen is one of the most prestigious universities in Germany, with a wide range of study opportunities and an extensive international community. During my studies here, I have not only broadened my knowledge of Economics, but also had the opportunity to meet many new people from all over the world. In addition, the city offers a wide range of social and recreational activities for students.
