Universität zu Köln

One of the best years of my life. The University was equipped with everything I needed as an Erasmus student in the faculty of Medicine, teaching was high quality, there was a real sense of camaraderie. There is nothing I would change.

I applied for the MBA in Supply Chain Management at the University of Cologne. The official site said the minimum required grade was 2.7, so I paid €70 for the VPD and submitted my application—my grade was better than 2.7. I was automatically rejected. When I asked why, they said: “Yes, the required minimum grade is 2.7. However, in 2023 and 2024 only applicants with a grade up to 1.9 had chances to be admitted.” This is misleading and unfair. If 1.9 is the real cut-off, then state that upfront. This process wasted my time and money and shows a serious lack of transparency

Best destination for Erasmus. Exemplary international student office (fast, professional, high-quality) and impressively friendly. Excellent, internationally renowned Professors who are passionate about their field and very welcoming to erasmus students. I really miss my erasmus in Cologne, it was a fantastic experience.

Honestly, I had a horrible experience here as an international student. Maybe it's better with home students though. Zero digitalization and adaptation for internationals, zero advice on visa, accommodation and other essentials. Weak organization. The website was also very much confusing and not user-friendly. Lack of available English-speaking courses (even though my Master’s program was held in English). I'm sorry to share this experience, but overall it was very confusing.

I love this University because of the availability of courses and the great faculty. One thing is it takes a longer duration for course completion due to the number of students that are enrolled here. The international ranking of the University is pretty decent too.
