DISCOVER YOUR CAMPUS

Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Idstein, Cologne, Munich or Wiesbaden? Which city should your studies take you to?
With us, you can study at one of seven locations across Germany.

BERLIN
Federal capital, political and fashionable center, living history, a diverse
cultural life: That is Berlin. In recent years, the city has developed into the
fastest-growing start-up hub in Germany, especially in the creative industries
and the technology sector. The international environment, its science-related
infrastructure and the proximity to federal ministries and organisations attract
many companies and start-ups.

DÜSSELDORF
Whether it‘s the shopping street „Kö“, the old town, the media harbor, or the
largest Japanese community in Germany – Düsseldorf has a lot to offer. Stu-
dying in the city is also attractive because it is one of the leading locations for
advertising, telecommunications, fashion, and management consultancy.

HAMBURG
The metropolis on the Elbe and Alster rivers is one of the most attractive
cities in Germany – so it‘s no wonder that many people want to live, work
and study here. And once you‘ve made friends with the city, it‘s hard to leave.
As the second largest city of Germany and its long history as a port city and
trade center, the city shows a diverse mix of industries, such as civil aviation,
renewable energies, IT, technology, creative industries, life sciences as well
as logistics. In recent years, Hamburg has also developed a thriving startup
community.
 7

IDSTEIN
The picturesque town center with its half-timbered houses, cobblestone
streets, cozy cafés and restaurants invites you to linger and chat with fellow
students. Situated in the beautiful natural surroundings of the Taunus, the re-
gion around the old Nassau residence town also offers many opportunities for
outdoor activities. And if you are drawn to the big city, you can quickly reach
the Rhine-Main region with the cities of Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, and Mainz.

COLOGNE
Studying in Cologne means immersing yourself in vibrant life. Because there‘s
always something going on here. Cologne is an open-minded, multicultural
city of millions and one of the most important business locations in Germany.
Insurance companies, media companies, biotech and pharma industry, car
manufacturers and the chemical and food industries are among today‘s major
employers and offer a wide range of job opportunities especially for enginee-
ring and business graduates.

MUNICH
Munich ist one of the most livable cities in Germany and a great place for out-
door lovers thanks to its proximity to the Alps. In addition to the media and
creative industry, you find a wide range of job opportunities in the automotive
and engineering industry. Finally, with its many internationally active compa-
nies, Munich is one of the strongest economic engines in Germany.

WIESBADEN
With its historic buildings and many green oases, Wiesbaden is a city with
a guaranteed feel good factor. The chemical and pharmaceutical industry is
of great importance for Germany, the federal state of Hessen and the city of
Wiesbaden. The city offers great opportunities and prospects in this field.
The chemical and pharmaceutical sector in Hessen generates around 23%
of industrial turnover and provides 15% of industrial jobs in Hessen. It also
offers an exciting corporate structure - for example, a very active start-up
scene, which we support. There are also many medium-sized companies,
service providers and agencies as well as other exciting professional
opportunities.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
As a student, you are also part of our community. One way to bring this community to life and to
get in touch with like-minded peers is by joining or founding a organizations.

Organizations are student-driven initiatives that bring people with a common interest together
so that they can share ideas, plan events and grow their networks. Whether you are interested in
playing cricket, baking, debating current affairs or celebrating your national or religious festivals,
find a organization that works for you – and if it doesn’t exist, start it yourself. With the diverse
student body on campus, you will soon find others who are interested in joining you in enhancing
the student community.

ASTA
Our General Students’ Committees (AStA) are very committed, and regularly organize events,
such as the summer and winter festivities, parties, and the popular football competition Frese-
Cup which is held annually at one of our campuses. Also, the orientation days for first semester
students are organized by AStA. Here, students can get to know city and campus and meet fellow
students. The AStA is also responsible for:

→ Representation of interests of the students towards the university, ministry, media

→ T
 he utilization of the students’ semester contribution in coordination with the university
→ Statements concerning collegiate or scientific questions of the university
→ The recognition of cultural issues of members
→ Organizing and supporting sport activities for students

UNIVERSITY SPORTS (ZHS)

Depending on the campus, students can participate in different kinds of sports events. In Colog-
ne, Düsseldorf, Munich and Hamburg, students can take part in the extensive range of university
sports at the public universities. To mention just some of the over 100 diverse course options of-
fered by the University of Cologne, students can take part in badminton, American football, rugby,
capoeira, zumba, climbing, dancing and horseback riding. Most of the courses are free of charge.

I am lucky and grateful to be the first batch to take the Inter-

national Management master’s program. It is a great opportu-
nity for those who wanted to have a business background but
had a non-business degree.
The university is also diverse and each department makes sure
we as international students are welcome. From the start of
my application process until present, everything went through
swiftly and there is always someone you can count on to help
you. I also joined the Buddy Program during my first semester.
This is a program of the International Office where we get a
buddy who is currently studying and living in Germany, and
that indeed helped me a lot, especially in getting through
things around campus. She also became one of my friends
here!

Janice on her start in Germany and

at Fresenius University of Applied Sciences

As an international student going on an academic and

professional journey far from home, the support structures
in place at the university have been pivotal to my success.
From the moment I began considering the move, the Inter-
national Office was there, offering guidance on everything
from visa processes to housing. Their ongoing support
has been a beacon, illuminating my path in Germany and
making the daunting seem manageable.

The Career Development Office has similarly been instru-

mental in aligning my aspirations with the German job mar-
ket. Their personalized resume adjustments have opened
doors to numerous opportunities, including internships
and career days that brought me face-to-face with industry
giants. These interactions weren‘t just informative – they
were transformative, providing a firsthand glimpse into the
corporate world and preparing me for what lies ahead.

WHAT MAKES THIS STUDY PROGRAM SO SPECIAL?

Whether you work in design, management, or as an entrepreneur, if you want to learn how to operate in an economi-
cally effective, yet responsible way, this program is the right choice for you. It’s interdisciplinary, practice oriented, and
focuses on three main areas: sustainable design strategies, sustainable production, sustainable business. Challenging

parent corporate communications. AMD’s broad corporate network provides many opportunities to collaborate with
and learn from industry experts. Workshops, excursions, and real-life projects with companies in the creative industries
round off the study program’s practical focus.
