Laboratory and campus tours, workshops, lectures, advice on degree programmes and a good start to your studies: anyone who wants to get to know the wide range of courses on offer at The Hochschule Niederrhein (HSNR) now has the opportunity to do so. At the Open Day on Wednesday, May 15, interested parties can take a look behind the scenes of the faculties in Mönchengladbach.

From 9 a.m., the four Faculties of Food and Nutrition Sciences, Applied Social Sciences, Textile and Clothing Technology and Business Administration and Economics will be welcoming visitors to the Faculties in Mönchengladbach (Rheydter Straße, Richard-Wagner-Straße and Webschulstraße).

From the program:

At the Faculty of Food and Nutrition Sciences, those interested can learn more about the sustainable cultivation of mushrooms, vegan snacks with fruit and vegetables, edible packaging, quality management or food analytics. There will also be hands-on sports and nutrition and tips for founding your own start-up.

The SO.CON Institute of the Faculty of Applied Social Sciences will be presenting its current research projects. Visitors can get a taste of a legal lecture using the case study "Childhood vaccination against coronavirus" or watch an open rehearsal by budding cultural educators.

The Faculty of Business Administration and Economics offers taster lectures and short presentations on marketing, taxes and soft skills as well as workshops on investing and wealth accumulation. Interested parties can also gain an insight into the work of the NIERS institute, which deals with issues of regional structural change, regional sustainability and future viability.

And the Faculty of Textile and Clothing Technology offers a practical approach. Workshops (prior registration required at studinfo-07(at)hs-niederrhein.de) are offered there entitled "Hangtags - Is this important or can it go?", "Shank weaving" or "Against fast fashion - dealing with clothing yesterday, today and in the future".
