One thing that sets KLU apart from other universities and business schools is its vibrant feeling of family and community spirit. The university hosts several student clubs, events, and extracurricular activities that are crucial components of both your professional and personal growth.
Actively engaging in social activities in the community not only offers KLU students the opportunity to make connections and further enjoy the student experience, but it is also highly valued by employers. Including a voluntary experience in your resume adds proof of your initiative, commitment, and development of soft skills that can make you stand out from the crowd.
Last but not least, Hamburg offers a broad variety of cultural events and additional things to do.
Events
A wide range of events take place at KLU during the academic year. Several of them are (co-) organized by our students. Examples of our regular events include in-house recruiting fairs, our boot camps on various topics such as AI and big data, of course the graduation ceremony, and many more. Your time at KLU will doubtlessly be filled with memorable moments to create a unique life experience.
Check out these examples, providing a first glimpse of what is happening at KLU!
Sports@KLU
Sports activities have a very special place at KLU since they build team spirit, camaraderie, and a feeling of community. We even have our own program for high-potential athletes.
Next to working out in our own gym on campus, you have the possibility to, e.g., play basketball or train together with fellow-students to participate in Hamburg's university regatta in KLU's very own dragon boat!
Student Clubs
Belonging to a student club is not only a great way to meet peers of other specializations and programs but also a valuable experience to grow your professional profile and personal life. Whether you’d like to have a first experience in consulting in our student consultancy Advisupply, connect with key professionals in the industry as member of UniKonnect, you want to empower female leaders in our Women in Business club, or you are the sporty one to row in our Dragon Boat, you’ll find the right club for you. And if it doesn’t exist yet, create it! KLU will support you!
