Studying and Working in Koblenz
Academic life in Koblenz involves two universities: Koblenz University of Applied Sciences (HK), and a local branch of the University of Koblenz and Landau (UKL). UKL focuses on education, environmental studies, and cultural studies, and also offers computer science degrees. While HK specializes in engineering, architecture, and business administration.
Both universities cater for international students, but UKL is more cosmopolitan. In all cases, some German proficiency will be required, although this is less important for international Master's programs in toxicology, mathematics, chemistry, or data science.
Graduates from either school have a range of options when it comes to career planning. The two schools share an Entrepreneurial Office, which assists start-ups, while the region offers opportunities in food and drink, tourism, engineering, automotive design, transport, and logistics - with an Amazon hub located nearby.
