The winter semester 2024/25 started on September 1!
You can find everything you need to know for a successful start to your studies at HSNR in the first semester information.
The newly elected Vice Presidents Professor Dr. Gudrun Stockmanns (Studies & Teaching Education), Professor Dr. Kathleen Diener (Research & Innovation) and Professor Dr. Donja Amirpur (University Culture & Diversity) have taken up their work.
New since the start of the winter semester (01.09.2024):
The semester ticket will be transferred to the Deutschlandticket for the winter semester 2024/2025. The new ticket has the same features as the normal Deutschlandticket: it is valid for one person in 2nd class on all means of public transport and is non-transferable.
The Deutschlandticket is valid nationwide, but bicycles and passengers can no longer be carried on it. The ticket is only available digitally (via the HN app), i.e. ticket-to-print is no longer possible.
The Hochschule Niederrhein (HSNR) wants to reduce its emissions as quickly as possible in order to counteract climate change and constantly rising temperatures. The aim is to become climate-neutral by 2035. In order to achieve this ambitious goal, HSNR has developed a climate protection concept. This results from an objective of the sustainability strategy and presents the starting position, including the HSNR's carbon footprint. It defines the university's goals, shows how these goals can be achieved and ensures compliance with the controlling concept.
CO2 emissions are to be significantly reduced through short and long-term climate protection measures. The HSNR aims to achieve climate neutrality both in the area of building supply with heat and electricity and in the area of the university vehicle fleet. Where possible, further emissions caused by commuter mobility, for example, are also to be reduced.
As a milestone, the university plans to achieve a 40 percent reduction in emissions caused by the energy supply and fuel emissions of the vehicle fleet by 2030. Selected measures are being implemented in close coordination with the Bau- und Liegenschaftsbetrieb (BLB) NRW, which is the landlord of most of the university buildings.
From now on, all members of the university can tap fresh drinking water free of charge. The dispensers provide chilled or room-temperature still water and sparkling water.
You can find the dispensers at the following locations:
South Campus:
Campus West:
Campus MG:
The table water dispensers are regularly maintained and hygiene standards are monitored.
Please ensure that the devices are used properly and carefully (only use suitable bottles, do not waste water unnecessarily, contact the janitors if you have any problems, etc.).
In addition to providing fresh water, the additional intention is to reduce plastic waste. For this reason and for reasons of hygiene, the facilities may only be used with reusable bottles.
You can find a high-quality, compatible bottle in our campus store, for example.
