Cordial, cheerful and always ready for an excuse to celebrate – a lively metropolis in the heart of Europe and one of the largest university cities in Germany, Cologne has many likeable faces. Cologne’s people are open and easy going and the multi-cultural flair in the city makes it easy to meet people and find friends – not only at Carnival time or over a beer – a Koelsch – a Cologne beer speciality. In many cocktail bars, clubs and “Colognian” pubs you can enjoy Cologne’s nightlife.

In the event hall Cologne Arena, and at other venues, international music and sports stars perform. Classical cultural events, internationally famous museums, art galleries and theatres are there waiting for you.

Whether it’s the invention of OHM’s Laws, the development of the Otto engine or the introduction of Business Administration Studies as an academic discipline, - science and research have an important standing in Cologne. Make this experience yourselves! There is a great number of exhibitions, courses and tours just waiting for you in Cologne. 

Media metropolis Cologne: Several newspaper and magazine publishers, art book traders and printers have been in Cologne for hundreds of years. In addition to these, over time various radio and television broadcasting stations have established themselves, e.g. West German Broadcasting Corporation, N-TV, Super RTL and VOX. There are about 250 businesses alone in the Media Park such as Radio Cologne, Eins Live and production companies, sound studios, radio broadcasting stations, record labels and management consultancies.

If you’re looking for a job, work experience or the gateway to your professional life, CBS and its close proximity to businesses is worth its weight in gold. Cologne is a location with hundreds of years of trading and trade fair tradition. Many trading companies and industrial plants – for example, from the metal industry, car manufacturing, chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, printing, textiles – are permanently looking for enthusiastic and qualified job performers, just as much as in the music and the media branches, as junior staff members who want to successfully create their future. Make the most of your chances and opportunities!

And profit from Cologne as a city with a European flair: The Netherlands and Belgium are just across the border, Amsterdam, Paris and Brussels are very close and inviting for short trips.
