It is aimed at first semester international Bachelor and Master students and is held in English.

The focus is on topics such as tipps for studying, working and living in Stuttgart.

Job fairs for students

Job fairs are very useful for international students: you can network with potential employers and get valuable information about career opportunities. You will also often find out about internships, trainee programs and entry-level positions specifically for graduates. There are many job fairs in the Stuttgart region, including at universities (e.g. Bonding at the University of Stuttgart).

The Welcome Center Stuttgart provides information on job fairs and organizes its own events in which international students can participate.
