CUAS

The city of Cologne which doesn't really need to be introduced anymore - thanks to its vast offerings in the fields of education, culture and entertainment, is very strongly influenced by its almost 100,000 university students. This goes all the more so for Gummersbach, the location of a faculty of modern IT-related courses.

With approximately 18,000 students in over 45 disciplines taught by 450 professors, Cologne University of Applied Sciences is the largest of its kind in Germany. Alongside its diversified and high-quality course offerings and research projects Cologne University of Applied Sciences is a popular co-operation partner both inside and outside Germany and has close ties with various domestic and international universities.

The hallmarks of studies in Cologne and Gummersbach are application-focused interdisciplinary teaching, a dynamic further development of course offerings, integrated on-the-job semesters and short study periods. The University of Applied Sciences offers diploma courses with a duration of seven or eight semesters, divided into a foundation and specialisation period with and without on-the-job training semesters and the diploma examination. Many students also take the opportunity to study for one or two semesters at a foreign university and or complete an on-the-job semester abroad. The internationally recognised six-semester bachelor's courses also offer a qualified university degree for a fast career start. You can also add a four-semester master's course to deepen your scientific knowledge.

The international focus of Cologne University of Applied Sciences is mirrored by its international courses, many partnerships and over 3,000 foreign students from 93 countries. Partnerships
