RHINE-WAAL UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES

Founded on the 1st of May 2009, Rhine-Waal University began study activities in the Winter Semester 2009/2010 with the first three courses of study offered already in September 2009. 

Twenty new Bachelor and three Master degree programs will begin in the four faculties “Technology and Bionics” (Emmerich), “Life Sciences” (Kleve), “Society and Economy” (Emmerich) and “Communication and Environment” (Kamp-Lintfort) in the Winter Term 2011/2012. Thus, the university will have 23courses to offer that are taught in German or in English.

Rhine-Waal University is a modern, innovative and internationally-oriented college on the Lower Rhine River, offering at the locations in Kleve, Emmerich (transitional) and Kamp-Lintfort a comprehensive higher education in the specialty fields of Technology and Bionics, Life Sciences, Society and Economics and Communication and Environment.  

This presents on the three campuses, equally for students and employers alike, attractive possibilities to conduct studies with on-the-job training in the Bachelor as well as in the Master programmes.  The University provides members with diverse research, cooperation and service resources in business and society – from libraries to language centers and research centers; and in the three locations, all services required for administration, canteens, cafeterias and dormitories.

The cities of Kleve, Emmerich and Kamp-Lintfort and the surrounding areas offer university members an especially interesting and appealing environment.  The two regions unite natural scenic beauty with diverse cultural and leisure possibilities, and the potential for a wide-ranging student way of life.  At the same time, both regions are near large urban centers in the Rhineland, allowing numerous large cities, each with its own special flair, to be reached from Kleve and Emmerich as well as from Kamp-Lintfort within 60 to 90 minutes of travel time.

As a result, students at Rhine-Waal University are offered the attractiveness of a fascinating natural setting with the benefits of close proximity to major urban areas.  Characterized by a strong international focus, as expressed through collaborations with foreign universities and international companies, guests visiting from throughout the world, along with the orientation of the studies offered, the college where the Rhine and Waal Rivers meet is even more characterized by the studies offered in the English language.  In this manner, academic studies at Rhine-Waal University prepare students for pursuits throughout the modern globalized world – from the Lower Rhine to America, or even on to Asia.
