In the current WirtschaftsWoche University Ranking 2020, the University of Cologne achieved 4th place. For the WiWo ranking, a total of more than 500 HR managers were asked which universities they prefer to recruit graduates from and what criteria they look for. With the placement of the University of Cologne, the WiSo Faculty confirms it's top position compared to the previous year's WirtschaftsWoche ranking.
