Our profile
Diverse, practice-oriented, international: as a university, we see ourselves as a motor for innovation. We want to shape the future sustainably - both locally and globally. To this end, we constantly invest in the advancement of teaching and research. An investment that is rewarded with top rankings, strong (business) cooperations and the great appreciation of our graduates among renowned global players.
Our motivation
Reutlingen University is synonymous with high-quality and practice-oriented teaching. Beyond that, however, there is a whole range of social, economic and scientific topics that move us - from technology transfer and climate sensitivity, to sustainable product development, internationality and diversity. There is a lot to discover on and around the campus!
Student life
In addition to seminars, tutorials and internships, student life has a lot to offer. Be it university sports, big band or student council party - campus life is colourful, loud and rarely boring. And if it all gets too much, there are plenty of opportunities to relax in nature on the edge of the Swabian Alb or at events in and around the state capital Stuttgart.
Activities & offers during the semester
In addition to study-related services, Reutlingen University offers students a range of programmes on current issues in business, research, politics and culture. The programme is a colourful mix: from language courses, interdisciplinary lectures, creative workshops and makerspaces to ecological continuing education and social events, we have it all.
The @hsrt_campuslounge
Check out the university's official Twitch channel. Here, a motivated team of students streams everything that's fun: exciting gaming sessions, casual Ask-the-Prof talks, creative painting streams, live events and productive work-together sessions. Whether you want to chat, play along or just lurk – the Campus Lounge is the place to be for real community vibes and university life in real time.

Studi Talk-Podcast
By students, for students – and anyone who wants to become one. Host Melina regularly invites guests from different degree programmes and faculties to the microphone. Together, they chat, laugh and talk honestly about what studying really means: from first semesters and flat-sharing to exam stress, big goals and small moments of success. Sometimes informative, sometimes chaotic, always authentic.
