Freshers' Week 2020

Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences in Kleve and Kamp-Lintfort

Welcome to winter semester 2020-2021. This is the first semester in the history of Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences in which we welcome our freshers online. Naturally, this is a new experience for you as well as us.

You’re entering into a semester that, much like the summer semester 2020, will take place largely online. In reaction to the coronavirus pandemic, the winter semester 2020-21 has been planned as a “flexible online semester” allowing for specific instances of on-campus teaching (where absolutely necessary), to blended learning, to purely distance learning.

Freshers’ Week will also take part largely, but not completely, online. So look forward to an exciting week full of interesting and informative events.
