Aachen University (RWTH)
Today the Rhenish-Westphalian Technical University (RWTH), founded in 1870 as the 'Königlich Rheinisch Westfälische Polytechnische Schule zu Aachen', consists of 260 professorships and institutes as well as a 170 areas of teaching and research.
Study programmes and international agreements with well-known universities make it possible for RWTH students to acquire valuable experience and knowledge abroad. The RWTH offers postgraduates, especially those from the English speaking world, twelve master courses.
Campus
The RWTH is not a campus university. Instead, its buildings are spread over some parts of the city. There are two core areas - midtown and Melaten district.
The RWTH has external facilities in Jülich and Essen and owns, together with the University of Stuttgart, a house in Kleinwalsertal in the Austrian Alps.
Compared to other German universities the RWTH Aachen received the highest amount of funds granted by third-party donors in the last years.
Almost 5,200 international students are currently enrolled within the undergraduate, graduate or PhD programme. Compared to other German universities the portion of international students at the RWTH Aachen is higher-than-average. The proximity of Aachen to the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg combined with the subsequent exposure to a variety of cultural heritages has placed RWTH Aachen University in a unique position with regards to the reflection and promotion of international aspects and intensive interaction with other universities.
