Kühne Logistics University (KLU) has won this year´s "Global Student Satisfaction Award" in the category “Best Quality of Student Life”. KLU President Prof. Thomas Strothotte accepted the prize awarded by the global study choice platform Studyportals.com yesterday in Washington D.C., USA.
“This award is particularly valuable for KLU because it is based soley on the views of students who ranked their institutions. Thank you to each and every one of you, our students, for having given us such glowing marks," said KLU President Professor Thomas Strothotte referring to the overall rating of 4.8 out of 5 possible stars by KLU students. "KLU educates the leaders of logistics of tomorrow and our aim is to support each student individually on their way through university. The positive student reviews show that we are on the right track.” Strothotte went on to say that the outstanding student evaluations and excellent ratings on quality of student life mirror the top research ranking results KLU achieved this spring in the German business magazine Wirtschaftswoche.
