First-year Students

Everything you need to get started

Every year, students from more than 120 countries begin their studies at Rhine-Waal University. To help new students settle into this exciting new chapter, the Central Student Advisory Service, the Welcome Centre and the faculties have put together a week of exciting events. Discover what Kleve and Kamp-Lintfort have to offer beyond the campus, meet your fellow students and much more.

Further details and the full programme will be published here shortly.

Bridging courses are intensive courses designed to help you prepare for your degree before your studies begin. Participation is voluntary and no credit points are awarded. You can use the courses to refresh your existing knowledge and fill in any small gaps before starting your studies.

The courses are held before the start of the winter semester, usually in September. The upcoming course programme will be available at the link below in due course.
