Highlights
Welcome to Hochschule RheinMain – University of Applied Sciences and Arts!
April 2026 - Hochschule RheinMain – University of Applied Sciences and Arts welcomes over 50 international exchange students from all over the world for the summer semester 2026. Around 30 of them attended the official welcome event at the Kurt-Schumacher-Ring Campus in mid-March, where the Vice-President for Research, Entrepreneurship and Science Communication, Prof. Dr. Andreas Brensing, gave them a warm welcome.
The participants quickly found common ground during games to get to know each other, and getting to know each other over pizza and snacks was also the focus. During the subsequent Backyard Games, the exchange students quickly formed committed and cheerful teams and competed against each other in games of skill such as Kubb and crossboccia. The event concluded with a campus tour, during which the exchange students were able to get to know the campus better.
Successful start - first graduates in Prepare & PreStudyING
March 2026 - With the start of the study preparation programs Prepare@HSRM and PreStudyING@HSRM our university has further expanded its commitment to international prospective students. Ealier this year, the first participants successfully completed their programs.
In the Prepare program, they passed the TestDaF German language test and now meet the language requirements for application to bachelor's or master's degree programs in all faculties at Hochschule RheinMain.
The graduates of PreStudyING@HSRM additionally passed the entrance exam in mathematics and physics and can therefore begin a Bachelor's degree course in the Faculty of Engineering in the summer semester.
In addition to intensive language and subject preparation, the participants got to know student life, took advantage of counseling services and made their first contacts with fellow students and teachers. We would like to congratulate all graduates and look forward to accompanying them on their further journey at Hochschule RheinMain.
The PreStudyING@HSRM and Prepare@HSRM programs are part of the "Succeed@HSRM" project, which is funded by the European Social Fund and the state of Hesse.

Sustainability during a semester abroad: student photo project
As part of an extraordinary photo project, three students from our university submitted impressive contributions on the topic of sustainability during their semester abroad. These projects show how individual initiatives can help improve the environment and promote sustainable lifestyles in different countries.
Luc Chevalier, who is studying Media: Conception & Production, documented Benjakitti Park in Bangkok, where urban space is being ecologically upgraded. With his atmospheric photographs, he shows the diversity of nature that flourishes here despite the metropolis.
Another student from Bern reports on how she is actively reducing food waste and making her everyday life more sustainable by buying savior bags.
Media Management student Chiara Friedrich's contribution focuses on environmentally friendly mobility and conscious consumption during her semester abroad.
These diverse student perspectives provide insights into global environmental awareness and sustainable practical experiences and can be an inspiration for others.
