Information for Education Providers

Who we are

College Contact was founded in 1997 and has since then been counseling and recruiting German, Austrian and Swiss students planning to study abroad for their entire degree of part thereof. To date, we have successfully placed close to 20.000 high school graduates and university students with our partner universities and colleges.

Starting out with a focus on North America, we have gradually broadened our portfolio over the years to include institutions of higher education in other parts of the world as well. This approach has not only allowed us to develop a deep understanding of the various education systems and build a high level of trust with our partner institutions, but also to become one of the leading counseling services and agencies for international education in Germany.

We serve our students by providing individual counseling and application assistance over the phone, by email and face-to face in our head office which is located in Frankfurt am Main - one of the most international German cities. All of our services are provided 100% free of charge to students.
