Thinking the Future. With its 260 institutes in nine faculties, RWTH Aachen University is among the leading European scientific and research institutions. About 45,000 students in more than 150 courses of study are currently registered at the University, including 9,000 international students from 130 countries. Teaching and learning at RWTH is first and foremost application-oriented. Its graduates are therefore sought-after as junior executives and leaders in business and industry. National rankings and international assessments attest to the RWTH graduates’ marked ability to handle complex tasks, to solve problems constructively in team work and to take on leadership roles. It is therefore not surprising that many board members of German corporate groups studied at RWTH Aachen University.
