Student Life

Campus life

Both a good atmosphere and cultivated, attractive surroundings provide the best framework conditions for a degree course completed with aplomb. Small but impressive - this is the impression gained at the Cologne Hardefuststraße campus. Bright, friendly rooms, PC workplaces, an in-house library, a cafeteria, a garden and also wireless Internet access everywhere. You should come and take a look yourself.

Sports facilities

Whether aikido, self-defence, yoga, flamenco dance, back training, water sports or winter sports, more than 100 courses of the widest range of disciplines should ensure that everybody can find something fitting.
