Max Planck Institute of Metabolism and Institute of Aging Biology are both located in Cologne, and their major in life science is also the third in Germany.
Medical college was founded in 1904. It was originally a practical medical college, and later it was funded by the government and became a professional academic and scientific research institution. From anatomy and physiology to surgery and pathology, even childhood diseases were first introduced into German medical courses by the University of Cologne. This major is also called "excellent education course" by Goethe.

The school of humanities mainly involves four disciplines: pedagogy, psychology, rehabilitation and art.
In addition to traditional pedagogy courses, pedagogy majors also have in-depth research on preschool education and educational economics. In terms of horizontal cooperation and vertical research, the University of Cologne has its own unique methods.
