Hochschule für Technik Rapperswil

Hochschule für Technik Rapperswil is a technical university on the shore of Lake Zurich that trains students in engineering and applied sciences. The campus consists of several modern buildings with laboratories, workshops, and computer centers that provide space for research and teaching projects.

The school was founded in 1972 as a technical college to train skilled workers for the region's industry. It later developed into a university of applied sciences and today is part of a larger network of technical institutions in Eastern Switzerland.

The school shapes the local identity as a place where young people from the region develop technical skills and prepare for careers in industry and crafts. Visitors notice the strong connection between coursework and nearby companies that regularly collaborate with students on real projects.

The campus sits directly on the lake and is easily reached by public transport. The grounds provide access to workshops, laboratories, and computer rooms, where visitors can observe daily operations during open-house events.

The institution runs more than one thousand research projects at any given time, many in direct collaboration with Swiss companies. This work makes the school a key innovation center for the technical industry in Eastern Switzerland.
