About the faculty

Our broad range of degree programmes share important core elements in common: their deeply practical focus, for example. Our programmes were developed specifically to prepare students for the future challenges they’ll face in their new careers. Students are given countless opportunities to learn new and exciting things and try them out in real-world, hands-on scenarios. One example are the faculty’s ongoing national and international research projects which are actively supported by student members of the project team.

Our programmes also share the same strong international orientation that distinguishes our faculty. Course material, for example, is always presented within a larger international context. Even our facilities are international: the Tropical Greenhouse in Kleve features plant species from around the world. We also maintain collaborative agreements with numerous institutions abroad, providing students with a wide range of interesting international opportunities for internships or semesters abroad.
