Choosing a university is a decision that sets the course for life. CBS Cologne Business School in Cologne, one of the best private universities of applied science in Germany, puts this at the heart of its business, reflected in the slogan “Your career. Our misson”.
Approximately 1,400 young people from about 75 nations are studying at Cologne Business School, embedded in a large network of partnerships with around 100 universities all over the world and numerous large companies.
CBS was founded in 1993 as a pure business school and is characterised by a wide range of English-language study programmes. It was amongst the first universities in Germany to offer the internationally recognized Bachelor’s degree.
Today the portfolio comprises English and German-language Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes with a focus on management as well as MBA and Executive MBA programmes. The excellent study conditions are based on small learning groups and intensive supervision by the professors and lecturers.
What is the CBS scholarship?
The CBS scholarship is offered to international and EU students who attend our university as we believe in the potential of young people and want to support them in shaping their future.
Up to 4 CBS scholarships are awarded per campus each semester to students who receive outstanding results during high school, or their first degree. Through the scholarship, we aim to make it easier to attend CBS for students who might otherwise not be able to study at a private university.
If the requirements are met, students who have successfully completed the application will receive a scholarship of up to 25% on tuition fees.
