Each year, Frankfurt School’s Opening Ceremonies mark the start of an inspiring academic journey for hundreds of new students. Across three celebratory events, incoming Bachelor’s and Master’s students are welcomed to campus, introduced to the FS community, and encouraged to embrace new opportunities for growth.
With motivating speeches from President Prof. Dr. Nils Stieglitz and personal insights from alumni, the ceremonies capture the energy, ambition, and spirit that define life at Frankfurt School.

With three opening ceremonies, Frankfurt School welcomed its new students to campus last week to kick off the semester. The opening ceremonies are always a special opportunity to make new connections, explore the campus, and experience the unique FS spirit for the first time. For the students, this marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter – filled with highlights, fresh perspectives, and unforgettable experiences together.
The ceremonies started on Monday with the Pre-Experience Masters Opening Ceremony, where 451 new Master’s students were welcomed. On Friday, the Bachelor in Business Administration Opening Ceremony followed with 92 first-year students. The week concluded on Saturday with the Bachelor of Science Opening Ceremony, as 610 students joined the FS campus to embark on their studies.
At each event, Frankfurt School President Professor Dr Nils Stieglitz inspired the new students with words of encouragement for an exciting and rewarding academic journey. A cherished tradition also continued: FS alumni took the stage as guest speakers, sharing personal stories of their own student days and the career paths that followed.
