University of Cologne, Public university in Cologne, Germany.
The University of Cologne extends across multiple buildings in the city center, offering 200 academic programs through six distinct faculties for 48,000 students.
Established in 1388 as the fourth university in the Holy Roman Empire, the institution closed in 1798 during French occupation before reopening in 1919.
The university maintains research partnerships with global institutions, including the Max Planck Society and Helmholtz Association, advancing scientific knowledge across disciplines.
Students pay a semester fee of 300 euros that includes unlimited public transportation access throughout the North Rhine-Westphalia region.
