Second Chance

My experience at KLU has truly been life-changing. This university has given me a second chance and opened the door to a completely new life filled with opportunities. From the very beginning, it has felt like a second home. What makes KLU so special is the people. Every single person here is supportive and genuinely willing to help. The professors are not only highly qualified and professional, but also approachable and always ready to guide you in any academic or professional matter. I have never been in a place like this before. The strong connection with industry, the quality of events, and the incredible network of classmates and alumni create the perfect environment for both personal and professional growth. I will always be grateful to KLU for everything I have experienced here.

Fascinating experience

Excellent small school with a strong focus on technology and entrepreneurship; small classes; personal experience with lecturers and staff; well-designed curriculum; good lectures and interesting guest lecturers; a lot of traveling if you don't live in Hamburg's south, but manageable for three semesters; excellent value for money compared to UK/US schools, even without receiving one of the many scholarships; financial breakeven in less than two years; well-known in northern Germany, but now more so in central Europe; each class has one or two larger successful startups, with founders frequently giving lectures on campus; the alumni network feels more like a family than a pure "business network"; the new CEO is driving growth; and there are plenty of opportunities and support provided for extracurricular activities, initiatives, etc.
