Why Study at Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences ?

1. Frankfurt Financial District - Praxissemester at Deutsche Bank IT

FRA-UAS's compulsory Praxissemester places students in Frankfurt's unmatched employer ecosystem: Deutsche Bank IT, Commerzbank operations, Frankfurt Airport (Fraport), Lufthansa engineering, DHL technology, and Frankfurt's growing FinTech companies. For applied CS and engineering students, Frankfurt UAS Praxissemester employers are exceptionally high-quality - a direct consequence of the financial capital location.

2. Same Frankfurt RMV Ticket as Goethe University

FRA-UAS students receive the same RMV semester ticket as Goethe University students - covering all Frankfurt public transport. The financial district, Frankfurt Airport (Fraport career events), and surrounding RheinMain region are all accessible. IELTS 6.0 entry vs Goethe's 6.5 means FRA-UAS opens the Frankfurt ecosystem to a broader range of Indian applicants

3. Architecture - Frankfurt's Skyline as Your Studio

Frankfurt's distinctive skyline - Germany's only "Mainhattan" (Manhattan on the Main river) - creates an extraordinary context for FRA-UAS architecture students. The city's blend of medieval Römerberg Old Town and modern financial towers is a living architecture laboratory.
