“We respect every single one of our students. It’s great to see that reflected in the ranking,” says KLU President Professor Thomas Strothotte. On average, students gave KLU 4.7 out of 5 stars, and 100 percent of those surveyed would recommend it to a friend. Thanks to the combination of these two scores, KLU came in first among the ca. 600 traditional universities and universities of applied sciences included in the ranking – and received the 2020 award for “Favorite University in Germany.” “We strive for excellence in research and student support, in other words, in everything we do. As a result, our students’ and alumni’s careers really take off!” says Strothotte. This marks the second successful ranking for KLU, which won the “Global Satisfaction Award” in the category “Best Quality of Student Life” in the 2019 ranking released by Studyportals.com

Instructors and courses received high marks
