The metropolis on the Elbe and Alster is one of the most attractive cities in Germany and is known around the world for its manifold possibilities in all areas of life. A lot of green and even more blue characterise the city, due to its many trees, open spaces and water. These colours symbolise the high quality of life. Numerous quarters with individual character and charm make it a great place to live and go out. From the Schanzenviertel to the Kiez, there are many opportunities to meet fellow students and get to know each other better. Striking places like the Michel, the Nikolai Church, the city hall, the Elbphilharmonie, the harbour with Speicherstadt or the fish market offer a welcome change to studying. Walks on the Binnenalster or on the Waterkant give students a way to balance the everyday stress of their studies. As far as cultural is concerned, the Elbe metropolis tops all other cities in Germany.
Anyone who has made friends with the city will not leave soon. The job prospects are too good for that. The logistics and trade sector offer excellent prospects. In addition, Hamburg is home to numerous advertising agencies and publishers, and it has been carrying the title “Health Region of the Future” since 2010.
