Online Fair: Institutions and initiatives of the RWU introduce themselves

The everyday life of our university is shaped by many people. At the online fair, the RWU institutions, such as our university management, the central student advisory service or the Seezeit student union, present themselves.

RWU thrives on the participation of its students. In order to help shaping the university, a large number of student initiatives have been founded. Students who get involved in the university have better career opportunities and the chance to think outside the box. Studies conducted by the state of Baden-Württemberg have also shown that students who are engaged at the university are more likely to successfully complete their studies.

From October 4th onwards, you will find the performances, the program of question times and further information here (register with your RWU account).
