Are you interested in studying in the field of Life Sciences? From April 08 to April 19, 2024, we invite you to get an authentic insight into our study programs. Take the opportunity to come by in person and attend selected lectures. The central study advisory service and the faculties in Kleve also offer exciting program points to inform about studying at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences.
At the Faculty of Life Sciences you will have the chance to get to know diverse scientific study programs in both German and English.
At our Faculty of Life Sciences, courses usually start with a small time buffer, which we call "cum tempore" (c.t.). This means that if a course is scheduled for 10 a.m., for example, it actually starts at 10.15 a.m. - so we give you 15 minutes extra time to arrive. This is what we call the "academic quarter".
However, if you see that a course is preceded by "sine tempore" (s.t.), this means that the course starts punctually at the specified time, without the extra 15 minutes. So, for a 10 a.m. course with "s.t." it starts directly at 10 a.m., without delay.
Here you can find an overview of the lectures you can attend at the Faculty of Life Sciences in Kleve:
