RheinMain University of Applied Sciences, German university (1971-)
RheinMain University of Applied Sciences is a public institution with campuses in Wiesbaden, Rüsselsheim am Main, and Darmstadt, where approximately 12,000 students can choose from more than 70 study programs. The offerings include architecture, design and media, engineering, social sciences, and business in various formats such as full-time, part-time, or online study.
The university was founded in 1971 and has expanded significantly since then. Over the years it was renamed, a campus in Geisenheim became an independent university in 2013, and since 2017 it has been able to award doctoral degrees.
The university shapes daily life in Wiesbaden and Rüsselsheim through its students and teachers who move across the campuses and gather in shared learning spaces. Group work and campus events bring people together around practical projects that prepare them for their working lives.
The university has multiple locations in Wiesbaden and Rüsselsheim with separate buildings for different faculties, libraries, computer labs, and shared spaces for working and meeting. The campuses are organized for practical use and offer both quiet study areas and collaborative spaces for different learning needs.
Since 2017, the university has had the right to award doctoral degrees, making it one of only a few applied sciences universities in Germany with this authority. This marks the institution's progress from pure teaching to recognized research at the highest level.
