To promote our seven Universities of Applied Sciences in North America, UAS7 usually engages in several Study Abroad and Career Fairs at our partner universities each fall. This year, everything has changed - and we decided to go virtual!

Due to the corona pandemic, not only in Germany has the university system predominantly gone virtual, universities have significantly expanded their digital teaching and learning offerings. This increase in digitalization is also to be anchored in international university cooperation projects. To this end, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) will fund the joint project "UAS7 Virtual Academy" led by Bremen City University of Applied Sciences. The total grant amount is 250,000 euros.

Whether it is Business Administration, Economics, Business Law, Business Informatics or Engineering, at UAS7 universities business and economics students are particularly satisfied with their studies. Those departments were awarded top ranks in the most recent CHE ranking. Business studies and Social Work courses fared particularly well.

Yet again, about 100 undergraduate and graduate students, young professionals, career service advisors and anyone interested in studies abroad joined UAS7, the German university liaison offices and other relevant institutions last Friday, March 29, for our annual Germany Grad Fair at the German House.

My name is Meredith Nuber and I am the current intern at the UAS7 liaison Office in New York City. In addition to interning at UAS7, I am a studying to earn a master’s degree in international education from New York University.

On Thursday, April 28, 2016, the UAS7 New York Office hosted a panel discussion on the topic of "Bridging the U.S. Skills Gap - A Transatlantic Discussion on Vocational Training and Best Practices" in cooperation with the German Consulate New York.
