Event Set Up
The Bachelor Education Fair in Frankfurt gives prospective bachelor students the opportunity to get in touch directly with local and international colleges and universities. Visitors are requested to register online prior to the education fair. This enables universities to work on an appointment basis which increases the quality of the conversation with students. Additionally, exhibitors are welcome to book a 20-minute time slot in our presentation programme to promote their institution and programs to a bigger group of visitors.

Presentations held by exhibitors and experts from the field of higher education give visitors the chance to inform themselves about topics like undergraduate programs, studying abroad, university rankings, etc. The exhibition is accompanied by a exhibition program in which academic and expert presentations are delivered on topics such as master degrees abroad, application, funding, starting salaries and much more.

Things to do in Frankfurt
Frankfurt is the fifth-largest city in Germany with a great fair tradition. The Frankfurter Messe (Frankfurt Trade Fair) is one of the world’s largest trade fairs.

The Bachelor Education Fair is scheduled at the end 2020, close to the Christmas Holidays. An excellent opportunity to visit the famous Christmas Market. With Christmas carols, church bells, smell of roasted chestnuts, cinnamon stars and mulled wine all together with an enchanting atmosphere is awaiting you in Frankfurt. 

The River Main
Enjoy a lovely walk along the River Main and appreciate the Frankfurt city skyline. Romantic in every season, the river side with plenty of trees offers you an escape from more hectic centre. If you come there in the night, the city will illuminate in front of you and your view will be just unforgettable.

Eating and drinking
What's in a name?! The Frankfurter sausage is probably the best known regional finger-food. It is typically made of smoked pork and you can buy it as a hot dog on almost every corner. If you feel rather thirsty, look for an apple wine regionally known as “Ebbelwoi”.
