More about RWU

After its reformation, the University of Applied Sciences Ravensburg-Weingarten began to offer a wider range of courses which included electronics, business, and, later, computing and nursing. It now offers a variety of courses across its four faculties. Early semesters are taught in English and later ones in German; this is to help prepare international students for work in Germany.

In partnership with the Weingarten University of Education, students are able to gain applied sciences degrees that incorporate a teaching qualification. Students can enjoy a variety of extra-curricular activities from skiing to car racing. International students are supported in many ways including via the Buddy-Program, the Brother and Sister Program, and the Council of Indian Students.
