Impact through research and education
What is good research and education to you? For us, this means discovering, digging, collaborating, discussing and inspiring. You can judge us by our Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes or our world-renowned research facilities such as the HFML-FELIX or the Max Planck Institute. But why not simply judge us by our science? By the knowledge we acquire through interdisciplinary collaboration and by the impact this has on humans and the world. Discover how we contribute to science on Radboud Recharge.

Our campus
Our campus contributes to personalised education and interdisciplinary research. The diverse environment invites you to study, collaborate and socialise. There is plenty of green space, perfect for a walk or to find a quiet place to relax. In addition, you can practice sports in our very own sports centre, but also take a breather in the many eateries and cafes. Or enjoy music and theater performances, events and lectures in our professional theater hall C.
Sustainability plays an important role in the future of the campus. To facilitate this, a green and healthy university environment with a strong focus on biodiversity is key. This way, we make a positive impact on the climate. The newest university building is even energy-neutral: on an annual basis, the building consumes as much energy as it produces.

Nijmegen: Old city, young vibe
Despite being the oldest city in the Netherlands, Nijmegen remains young at heart. The city is known for its cultural events, festivals, music venues and arthouse cinemas. It is ever-vibrant, both during the day and at night. You can endlessly wander the large city parks and winding streets without getting bored. Between the historic buildings and the many cafes, pubs and shops, there is plenty to keep you occupied. Perhaps you would rather walk along the Waal River or cycle across it. You may want to head to the city beaches, the Ooijpolder, or Germany. Whichever way you go, Nijmegen will only get greener! Nijmegen was even named the European Green Capital in 2018.
