This year’s orientation week at Rhein-Waal University of Applied Sciences for the 2018/2019 winter semester begins on 24 September 2018.
As part of the induction week for the coming winter semester, a wide range of activities, events and information stands for new students will be on offer at both campuses of Rhein-Waal University of Applied Sciences from 24 to 28 September. Following the official welcome for first-year students, a varied induction programme awaits them, including the traditional barbecue with live music, a city and campus treasure hunt, various sporting activities, concerts and film screenings. There will be plenty of information available at the Market, where stands run by internal and external organisations will provide an insight into the various activities, projects, groups and initiatives associated with the university. This will take place in Kleve on 25 September from 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm and in Kamp-Lintfort on 26 September from 1.00 pm to 3.30 pm.
Another highlight of the induction week is the Homecoming Cup in Kleve, which is being held for the fourth time at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences. The starting signal for this sporting showdown between the faculties will be given on 28 September at 2.00 pm on the Kleve campus. The teams, each consisting of five people, must complete a relay race comprising various disciplines, including canoeing on the Spoy Canal, an obstacle course and a bicycle slalom. The highlight of the sporting competition is the joint climb up a four-metre-high wall, which requires exceptional teamwork from all participants.
