Academic life

Do you prefer a "practical" approach to a theoretical one? Do you prefer working in small groups rather than being part of the great unknown?

Our RWU has a long tradition of practical experience, which began back in 1964 with the Faculty of Mechanical and Physical Engineering. The degree courses at Ravensburg-Weingarten University are characterized by practical training and numerous projects in modern, well-equipped laboratories. Students study in small groups and are individually supervised by a team of highly qualified professors and assistants. Nearby halls of residence and many leisure activities in the charming landscape of Upper Swabia, close to Lake Constance and the Alps, offer an excellent environment and the best conditions for studying, working and, of course, living.

RWU's unique strength lies in practice: research, knowledge and technology transfer. Today's research is tomorrow's future. Our degree programs are application-oriented and prepare students for both demanding technical tasks and challenging management tasks. We put the results of our research into practice and advise and support companies in their research and development projects. Are you interested in our current research topics?

RWU has been offering English-language degree programs for more than 30 years and can look back on a very successful development of international degree programs. Our International Office is well-known among international students and has many years of knowledge and experience in all aspects of living and studying here in Weingarten. In addition, the individual academic success of each student is also important to us: we support our students in their academic questions with a peer-to-peer approach.
