Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences

Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences or HSRW, is a German public university with international orientation that opened for the winter semester of 2009/10. Its two campuses are located in the cities of Kleve and in Kamp-Lintfort.
The university is named after the German river Rhine and Dutch river Waal. As of 2018, it offers a variety of both English- and German-languaged study programmes through four faculties: Faculty of Technology & Bionics, Faculty of Life Sciences, Faculty of Society and Economics and Faculty of Communication and Environment.

The state government of North Rhine-Westphalia organized a competition for the creation of three new Universities on 28 May 2008. The applicants were Kleve and the "We-4"-cities , but the concept of separate universities was discarded. Instead, in November 2008, the responsibility was assigned jointly to the two competing candidates Kleve and Kamp-Lintfort, to establish a bipolar university. In April 2009, Prof. Dr. Marie-Louise Klotz was appointed President and Prof. Dr. Martin Goch Vice President of the university. The official founding date of the University was 1 May 2009.
