Section overview
Description
RWTH Aachen University is the largest university of technology in Germany and one of the most renowned in Europe. It currently has around 28,000 enrolled students, most of them in engineering. Every year, numerous international students and scientists come to the University to benefit from its high quality courses and excellent facilities, both of which are recognised at an international level. Almost 5,000 international students are currently enrolled in undergraduate, graduate and PhD programmes. The proximity of Aachen to the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg and the subsequent exposure to a variety of cultural heritages has placed the University in a unique position with regard to the reflection and promotion of international aspects and intensive interaction with other universities.
