Rheinische Hochschule Köln

Study Design and Media at Rheinische Hochschule Köln (2026/27)

Rheinische Hochschule Köln (RH Köln) is a state-recognized university of applied sciences under private, non-profit sponsorship, based in Cologne. It grew out of the Rheinische Ingenieurschule für Bau- und Maschinenbauwesen, founded in 1958 by Gottfried Päffgen, and gained formal recognition as a Fachhochschule in 1971. In March 2024, it rebranded from Rheinische Fachhochschule Köln to Rheinische Hochschule Köln, marking its evolution into a broader university of applied sciences.

Spread across several locations in Cologne, RH Köln combines an unusually wide range of fields under one roof — engineering, business, psychology & law, media, and health economics — taught by a mix of full-time professors and a large pool of freelance lecturers drawn from practice. Programs run in full-time, part-time, and dual-study formats, and the university belongs to the network of the Rheinische Stiftung für Bildung.

Numerus Clausus (Admission Restriction)

For degree courses with a numerus clausus, part of the study places are allocated according to the grade point average (GPA) of the previous degree. Selection is generally based on how many applicants apply for a place. The higher the grade, the more difficult it is to get onto the course. The German grading system ranges from 1.0 (very good) to 6.0 (unsatisfactory).
