TH Köln is one of the most innovative universities of applied sciences and a member of the university alliance UAS 7. We offer 21,500 students and 1,000 academics from Germany and abroad an inspiring learning, research and work environment in the fields of engineering and humanities as well as social and natural sciences. TH Köln shapes social innovation - this is our approach to society’s challenges. Due to our interdisciplinary mindset and actions as well as our regional, national and international activities, we are a valued cooperation partner in numerous fields.

As part of the federal and state funding program “FH-Personal”, TH Köln will be breaking new ground in the coming years with the PLan_CV project together with partners from science, civil society, business, culture and politics. We will design and test a new, holistic “personnel development ecosystem” that represents added value for all parties involved - job holders, the university and practice partners. This model, a novelty in the university landscape, is intended to achieve greater permeability between the employment sectors for academically highly qualified people. In addition to sustainable recruitment for TH Köln, the more intensive cooperation with our partners from science, business and civil society should also have positive effects on teaching, research and knowledge transfer. The overarching goal is to increase equal opportunities, diversity and compatibility.
