On Friday, September 1, 2017, Frankfurt School of Finance & Management gave first-semester students on Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degree courses a warm welcome at the business school’s official Bachelor’s Opening Ceremony. For the first time, the ceremony was held on the new Frankfurt School campus, with more than 600 guests in attendance. Professor Dr Udo Steffens, President of Frankfurt School, welcomed the students and their families, friends and partners. In his address, he stressed that the new students had made a good decision by opting to study at Frankfurt School, as it is one of the best business schools in Germany, has set itself the ambitious goal of becoming one of European’s top business schools by 2020, and is making very good progress towards achieving this goal.
