Working in Cologne during your studies - Many potential employers based in Cologne

Working part-time during your studies could offer a lot of benefits. However, for many incoming CBS students, the big question remains whether their studies will allow ample time for a part-time student job or not. There really is no sweeping answer to this question, since the preparation time necessary for studying both before and after lectures varies greatly. However, experience shows that most employment-seeking CBS students manage to find time for a job. As for the type of job, this is up to each student individually. Particularly attractive are, of course, long-term jobs as a student employee in one of the well-known corporations that can be found in and around Cologne. Certainly included here are names like Ford, Bayer, REWE, RWE or AXA. But there are also lesser well-known companies from a wide range of industries based in Cologne, which makes this location particularly attractive for hard-working students. For those looking for an internship as part of their CBS studies, there are numerous opportunities right here in Cologne.
