Every semester we welcome exchange students from all over the world. Within the framework of international student exchange, we maintain various partnerships with universities worldwide. Usually students stay in Trier for one or two semesters and take part in business and language classes in our department. They have the opportunity to participate in courses that are theory-based and have a high practical relevance to the business world. Our dedicated professors have a lot of practical experience in the business world and therefore teach both knowledge and contents which students can integrate into their professional lives in the future.
Experience a great study atmosphere of Germany's oldest city with more than 2000 years of visible and vivid Roman history that can still be seen today: A total of nine UNESCO world heritage sites are located in Trier. Besides, Trier is characterized by its student life. About 20 % of Trier residents are students. With its diverse gastronomy, vivid music scene, and its short ways, Trier offers a perfect location for an unforgettable study time. Due to its proximity to Luxembourg (45 km) and Belgium (60 km), Trier has a very international flair. Every year, about four million tourists visit Trier and enjoy a variety of different events.
In our courses, we place value on professional relevance without disregarding the origins of the discipline.
Our international students can choose from a large variety of classes in our course catalog. Detailed descriptions of individual classes can be found in the module descriptions.
You also have the opportunity to participate in German courses. The International Office offers German courses for beginners, whereas the Business School offers courses in Business German at the higher levels.
You can find the academic calender of Trier University of Applied Sciences here.
