About the Kleve Campus

The Kleve Campus is situated on the former harbour site in the heart of Kleve and is home to three of the university’s four faculties. The modern buildings are situated along the Spoy Canal and are just a few minutes’ walk from Kleve town centre. The campus offers a wide range of state-of-the-art laboratories and lecture theatres, as well as an architecturally outstanding library housed in an old granary tower, now known as the ‘Wissensspeicher’ (Storehouse of Knowledge). The campus is also home to the Tropical Greenhouse with its teaching and display gardens, where students can gain practical experience.
