Beavers – The Master Builder is Back (News)

For a long time, spotting a beaver in the wild was a very rare sight. For years, beavers had disappeared from the banks of our local waterways. Now they are slowly reclaiming their habitat. But where had the beavers gone? How is it that they are now returning? How can you recognise a beaver, and what does it actually get up to all day? And why are beavers also known as ‘master builders’? Margarete Dytkowicz – a PhD student at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences and the University of Münster – answers these and many other questions in her talk. All interested undergraduate students can look forward to a brief journey into the fascinating world of our largest rodents.

The lecture is already attracting a great deal of interest. A total of 80 registrations have already been received.

The event will take place on 10 October 2018 from 5.15 pm to 6.00 pm at the Kleve campus of Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences, Marie-Curie-Straße 1, 47533 Kleve, in the Lecture Theatre Centre, Building 01, ground floor, Audimax. Admission is free and no registration is required.

The Children’s University

Through the Children’s University, Rhein-Waal University of Applied Sciences offers children aged between eight and twelve the opportunity to develop a passion for the world of science through lectures (45 minutes) designed especially for them. Just like real students, they are given student ID cards. They sit in lecture theatres and can ask experts all sorts of questions. The main difference from a proper degree course is that there are no exams to sit.

Come and join in!

Children keen to study at the Children’s University can attend either all the lectures or just a few. The Children’s University’s course catalogue can be viewed on the Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences website at www.hochschule-rhein-waal.de/de/veranstaltungen/kinder-uni-0. No registration is required for the lectures. Admission is free.
