As a communit...y of faculty and students we see ourselves as a learning organization forging new paths. For instance, TH Köln is one of the pioneers in the field of development and formation of concepts for higher education didactics.
Our subject range includes the fields of Applied Natural Sciences; Architecture and Construction; Information and Communication; Computer Science; Engineering; Culture; Society and Social Sciences as well as Business Studies. More than 90 degree programs are offered as full-time programs or in some cases as career-integrated or part time programs. As a place where research based learning and academic education take place, the university nurtures prospective scholars through cooperative dissertations. Annually, about 6,000 students take up their studies at TH Köln. Overall 26,000 students from about 120 different countries along with 420 professors and 1,200 staff employ their potential.
Research mainly focuses on future-related issues, including climate change, energy supply, health and food safety as well as demographic changes. While developing solution strategies for the most important questions of our time, researchers offer their professional expertise in interdisciplinary interaction. At the same time, they closely collaborate with local, national and international cooperation partners, including 290 international institutions of higher education. The university offers its researchers an attractive sphere of activity. The quality seal “HR Excellence in Research” awarded by the European Commission certifies that TH Köln meets international standards in the field of human resources development.
TH Köln also puts emphasis on quality in advanced academic training and promotes competencies as well as personal and professional development through a variety of programs offered to those who are interested in further education, to those who are currently working as well as to those who are returning to work.

In their application-oriented and interdisciplinary projects, TH Köln - University of Applied Sciences’ experienced researchers try to solve these ‘great challenges’ and actively contribute to the advancement of science, the economy and society.
TH Köln - University of Applied Sciences’ diverse research activities are reflected by its research profile. Three research areas and nine research topics serve as an umbrella for TH Köln"s different research structures, such as research institutes, competence platforms, research units and research centers.
In the Master"s program Applied Chemistry, you learn to develop and strengthen necessary competencies which prepare you for independent work in the fields of chemistry research, chemical development and production.
You acquire professional skills, particularly within the following areas of expertise: Modern Chemical Technologies, Green Chemistry and Materials Chemistry. Additionally, you will gain necessary key competencies in practice-oriented learning scenarios. These allow you to develop new concepts, methods, compounds and materials as well as prototypes and products on lab-scale, plant-scale or production-scale, even in unfamiliar situations.
The Master"s program in Drug Discovery and Development offers an excellent opportunity to obtain a degree in the field of pharmaceutical research and development. The program is jointly offered by TH Köln - University of Applied Sciences and the University of Cologne.
Information plays a pivotal role in today’s information society. People and enterprises require information in order to make decisions. Providing the right information at the right time, in the right quality and at the right place is a crucial task.
Current global trends such as population and economic growth as well as climate change exert increasing pressure on water resources worldwide. These ressources are the basis for food production, urban and industrial water supplies and hydropower. Experts are needed who understand that multiple problems of water resources management can only be addressed through a holistic approach.
The profile of the Master"s program is application-oriented. The aim is, besides providing the participants with an overview on the water sector in general, to educate experts in the field of Integrated Water Resources Management. This requires a diversification of their knowledge and leads to the capability of cross-linked thinking. The answer to complex environmental and water related problems requires economic and managerial competencies more than classical technical knowledge.
The consolidation of different disciplines has not only a methodological dimension but a cultural and a human one, because interdisciplinary team work requires knowledge sharing and effective communication.
