Research
As a young, dynamic institution, Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences is naturally drawn to innovative, application-oriented and interdisciplinary research efforts across the entire spectrum of scientific disciplines.

We’re especially proud that our research directly benefits the Lower Rhine region, keeping it on the cutting-edge and pushing its potential for innovation to new competitive heights.

Good university and peaceful university
peaceful university and good environment along with supportive staff
For the Love of Practical Caring
Love of caring to nature, and need to plant flowers and trees and save environment, development of projects for smart solutions towards environment, and practical modelling of instruments to use
Great campus life
Good chance to connect to people from all over the world, rich campus life. Make use of this opportunity to make friends and contacts and don't just focus on your studies. Overall a really nice university. Administration of correcting exams on time sucks though. Some people have to delay a semester to be able to graduate, just because of exams not being corrected on time.

Student services
The International Center is the central hub for the international activities of Rhine-Waal University with regard to internationalization, language skills and intercultural communication. In line with the international character of the University’s daily practice since its founding in 2009, the current Strategic Development Plan confirms the objective to incorporate internationality in all its areas of activity.
Housing services
In contrast to many other countries students in Germany have to find accommodation themselves. This means that a room will not automatically be assigned to you after enrolling at the University. Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences doesn’t maintain residence halls which is why the University cannot guarantee you accommodation.
Library services
The University Library is free to use for all members and affiliates of Rhine-Waal University. Non-members can also use the library for a small annual fee. We maintain a large collection of high quality materials at both our locations in Kleve and Kamp-Lintfort. This puts the latest and most reliable information at your fingertips – an absolute must for every student, teacher and researcher.
ICT services
Rhine-Waal offers IT support services for students and staff in Kleve and Kamp-Lintfort.
Campus life
- Kleve Campus:
The 19 snow-white buildings, which have a combined 48,000 m2 of floor space and line both banks of the Spoy Canal, aren’t merely buildings – they’re bridges spanning gaps between people and culture. They bring together our student body – over 7,200 students representing over 120 different nations – and they connect our university to the local population in Kleve.
- Kamp-Lintfort Campus
Our focus in Kamp-Lintfort is on applied learning based around the complex, real-world requirements that graduates will face. Our new facilities support us in this goal. The campus features five newly constructed and aesthetically-designed buildings, which can accommodate up to 2,000 students.
Sports facilities
When you can't see straight from studying, that's when you know it's time for a break. Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences is there to help you achieve an ideal balance between body and mind with a broad range of sports and athletic activities for students and staff in Kleve and Kamp-Lintfort.
