Student Life

History

Founded as a weaving school in 1855 at the initiative of the entrepreneurs of the nineteenth century, the city of Reutlingen and the Kingdom of Württemberg, Reutlingen University has gradually developed from a state school of engineering to a university of applied sciences.

With our large campus, it is now one of the most renowned academic sites in Germany. Over time, it has expanded to include more and more disciplines and today offers an academic home to students of life sciences, business administration, computer science, engineering and design as its five faculties.

Both then and today, the university is characterized by its internationality. Even in its early days, it was highly popular with technicians from Germany and abroad. Today, the university is home to students from more than 80 nations and has had several double degree programs in its portfolio since the 1970s.

Our Values

  1. Ethics & Sustainability: Climate change, resource scarcity and global injustice pose major challenges to the environment, the economy, society and health. We therefore specifically prepare our students to assume entrepreneurial responsibility for sustainability, climate protection with innovative solutions, and to act ethically - because the students of today help decide how we will live tomorrow.
  2.  Equal Opportunity & Diversity: Diversity means the visibility and appreciation of all people, regardless of their origin, identity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation and age. At Reutlingen University, we have developed various concepts to ensure and express this very diversity.
  3. Internationality & Reutlingen University: At Reutlingen University, a wide range of international and intercultural offers such as stays abroad, language courses and international collaborative projects are anchored in the curriculum. Intercultural competence and language skills are promoted through a range of measures, both on campus and through mobility abroad.
