Funding Program: “Open Universities - Utilising Potential, Preparing Transitions”
Pre-Studyplus was launched as an innovative and increasingly integrative addition to the support services of the International Office at Hochschule Geisenheim University. This project will be expanding and continuing the successful work carried out by the previous "Pre-Study" project, which ran from 2015 to 2019. Pre-Studyplus is funded within the framework of the program "Open Universities - Utilizing potentials preparing transitions" by the Hessian Ministry of Science and Art and the European Social Fund (ESF) of the European Union.
