On 14 and 15 November 2009, horizon in Mainz was given interested visitors from the Rhine-Main region a comprehensive overview of the study and training options available to pupils after their Abitur (German general qualification for university entrance).
4.100 upper school pupils studying for their Abitur, students and young professionals from the Rhineland-Palatinate and neighbouring regions in Hesse visited the Rheingoldhalle in Mainz to receive in-depth information and advice from experts at the exhibition stands. Universities and colleges from the Rhineland-Palatinate, the whole of Germany, and numerous renowned companies which were also represented looked forward once again to presenting their study and training offerings for school leavers with the Abitur.
This year too, there were numerous presentations and workshops organised by the exhibitors, as well as other offerings. Ones that prove ever popular are contributions on the various options for spending time abroad before or during study.
Two discussion sessions with top-class experts provided in-depth information on the subject of bachelors and masters courses and degrees and on student financing. These sessions enabled visitors to ask individual questions and they've got competent answers from the experts in the various areas.
