About Rheinisch Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen
RWTH Aachen opened in 1870 as the Royal Rhenish-Westphalian Polytechnic School, set up to train engineers for the industrial Rhineland. Over time it added natural sciences, medicine, humanities and economics, though engineering remains its core. It is now one of Germany's largest technical universities, and more than a third of its students hold foreign citizenship.
