What our students say

In this video students from our Sales & Marketing Bachelor's degree programme answer questions on student life in Mönchengladbach and why they decided to study at HSNR.

Via the Erasmus+ funding programme, students from our partner universities are able to visit HSNR as exchange students for one or two semesters.

Of course, students from our partner universities outside of the EU are also very welcome to spend time at HSNR as exchange students.

Please contact the International Office at your home university to find out what opportunities are available to you.
