Hamburg and HafenCity – the place to study logistics

The Kühne Logistics University is situated in the waterfront urban development area of HafenCity in Hamburg, which as one of Europe’s largest seaports is ideal for the campus. Together with the Fraunhofer Institute for Maritime Logistics and the technology-oriented logistics center at the Hamburg University of Technology, THE KLU, with its strong leaning towards business science and interdisciplinary studies, is part of an important cluster of logistics research institutes in northern Europe.

With over four million inhabitants, the Hamburg metropolitan area is among the biggest winners to gain from the opening up of Eastern Europe and globalization. This metropolis on the water is the most easterly of the northern seaports, making it the ideal port for Eastern Europe. As a global hub serving overseas countries, Central and Eastern Europe, and the Baltic area, Hamburg benefits from its central position at the confluence of the global trade handled by European logistics.

The KLU offers a unique financing scheme in conjunction with brain capital GmbH: Brain capital financing offers students at The Kühne Logistics University an innovative way of funding their course. Participants in this scheme pay no tuition fees while studying. In return, they commit themselves to making income-dependent payments after graduation, once a certain income level has been reached. This means every student has the same opportunity to study at THE KLU, regardless of their financial background.
