Study orientation

A university classically trains the next generation of researchers and scientists. For this reason, you learn more theories and methods in university studies, which ideally prepare you for a scientific career.

At universities of applied sciences, you also learn theoretical basics but not to the same extent as at a university. Here, the focus is on application-oriented learning which means that you apply what you have learned in practice. In most cases, you complete a practical semester at a university of applied sciences - a complete semester in a company of your choice and get to know professional life. You also learn how to put theoretical knowledge into practice during your studies. Practical studies at universities of applied sciences can thus make it easier for you to start your career.

In 2012, general tuition fees were abolished in Baden-Württemberg. Tuition fees can still be charged at private universities.

Ravensburg-Weingarten University charges a semester fee per semester which amounts to approximately 180 €. The exact amount of the current semester fee can be found under Fees and Financing can be found.

Rooms in shared flats, food, bus tickets - studying costs money, no question about it. An overview of the options for financing is available here: Fees and Financing.

To be able to study at a university, you need a university entrance qualification (HZB). This can be obtained, for example, through the Abitur at a general secondary school or the Fachhochschulreife at a vocational college or a specialized secondary school.

Further information on the subject of admission and requirements can be found on the page Application and matriculation at the bottom.

At RWU, you have the opportunity to get advice from the Central Student Advisory Service about your options after school - without obligation, open-ended and independent. If you already have a specific course of study in mind and have specific questions about it, you can contact the academic advisors. Click here for the Counseling Services at RWU and the respective contact persons.

Schedule a counseling appointment by emailing: studienberatung@rwu.de. Counseling can be done in person at the college, over the phone, or via video conference, it's up to you.

Currently, there are many inquiries and there may be a wait. If you have questions about the application and enrollment process, you are also welcome to contact Student Services at: info@rwu.de .

If you wish, you can prepare yourself for the counseling, for example with the orientation test what-study-me.com. If you have already taken the test, you are welcome to bring your TAN from the test with you. However, this is not a must.
