Ready, set, go!

Come and spend a semester at PFH Private Hochschule Göttingen and learn how to do business in Europe at one of the leading private business schools in Germany.

Our goal is to make your stay an unforgettable experience. Join us to study, discuss and participate in the ever-growing world of globalization. Discovering a new culture and making new friends is a great experience you should not miss.

The main PFH Campus Göttingen is located in the immediate vicinity of downtown Göttingen, the train station and the Göttingen State and University Library. Students are provided with the most modern equipment such as computer terminals, access to the university's WiFi etc., as well as ideal conditions for a pleasant work and study atmosphere in small groups, practice-oriented studying and close contact with the professors.

The dynamic university town has a young population of 125,000 people and 30,000 students. The city is lovely and, thanks to its central location and excellent connections, it serves as an ideal gateway to Europe’s major cities. Sports, cultural events and an exciting nightlife ensure a leisure time well spent.

We’re looking forward to welcoming you!
