What are your chances?

Hochschule Reutlingen, also presented in English as Reutlingen University, is a public university of applied sciences in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Its roots extend to a weaving school founded in 1855, and its present academic profile combines applied teaching with industry-oriented research. Around 5,000 students from more than 80 countries study across six faculties covering business, informatics, life sciences, sustainability and technology, engineering, and textiles. The university reports 49 degree programs, including Bachelor’s and Master’s options. Most applicants should evaluate individual programs rather than the institution in the abstract: language, admission criteria, application dates, practical components, international opportunities, and fees can differ substantially. The main campus is in Reutlingen, within reach of Stuttgart and the Swabian Jura, in a region with a substantial industrial base.

Student Life & Environment

Student life is concentrated around the Reutlingen campus and includes elected representation, faculty student councils, sports, music, and student-led initiatives. The Student Parliament represents students across faculties and works through portfolios covering areas such as culture, events, sustainability, international exchange, sports, digitalization, and diversity. Faculty councils provide another route to organize events, raise academic concerns, and meet students from different semesters. University sports range from established activities to changing semester-based courses; the university says many are free for students and employees. The campus Big Band welcomes new members and performs styles including jazz, soul, funk, and rock. Other listed initiatives connect students through consulting projects, sustainability activities, investment education, entrepreneurship, and a National Model United Nations delegation. Central services include academic advising, the Student Service Centre, an academic Learning Centre with library and media services, and the Center for Entrepreneurship. International students can obtain academic, residence, financing, language, and career support through dedicated university services. Housing is not guaranteed by the university: nearby residences are operated by external providers, availability is limited, and early applications are encouraged. The university also maintains a portal for private-room and apartment listings.

Location & Surroundings

The main campus is at Alteburgstraße 150 in Reutlingen, Baden-Württemberg. Reutlingen combines a historic center and local cultural scene with access to the Swabian Jura’s outdoor landscape. Stuttgart and its wider metropolitan economy are nearby, while Reutlingen itself sits in an industrial region with established manufacturers and smaller specialized companies. That setting can be relevant for students pursuing applied projects, internships, or graduate employment, although opportunities depend on discipline, language ability, and current hiring conditions. From Reutlingen’s main railway station, bus lines 4 and 8 run toward Hohbuch and stop at Hochschulen, directly serving the campus. The university also identifies an hourly X3 express-bus connection from Stuttgart Airport to Reutlingen; passengers transfer to line 4 at Unter den Linden. Some teaching or research activity occurs away from the main site, including university locations in Böblingen and Reutlingen-Rommelsbach, so applicants should confirm where their chosen program is delivered. Students comparing accommodation should consider both campus access and transport to any program-specific external location.

Costs & Career Outcomes

The university’s current financing page lists a general semester contribution of €199.30, payable each semester, including practical, overseas, and leave semesters. It comprises a student-services contribution, an €80 administrative charge, and a €14.50 contribution to the constituted student body. Certain named business programs have additional or different charges, so applicants should review the applicable fee regulation and program page before budgeting. Students from outside the EU and EEA generally pay Baden-Württemberg tuition of €1,500 per semester in addition to the semester contribution. The university lists statutory exemptions and routes to request an exemption in qualifying cases, including some exchange and cooperation arrangements. Separate second-degree tuition may also apply under state rules. Accommodation, food, health insurance, transport, learning materials, and personal expenses are additional; no university-wide housing price is published on the cited housing page, and residence places are limited. Career support includes individual guidance on professional orientation, applications, and profile development. The university uses JobTeaser for internships, student jobs, thesis opportunities, and graduate vacancies, while ESB Business School maintains additional career resources. Faculties organize campus career fairs, and international students can access coaching, workshops, mentoring, entrepreneurship events, and advice on entering the German labor market. These services support career preparation but do not establish a particular employment rate, salary, or employer outcome.
