history
The university was founded in 1972 as the Intercantonal Rapperswil Technical Center (ITR) by the cantons of Zurich , St. Gallen , Schwyz and Glarus . In 1998 the ITR was given the status of a technical college retrospectively to 1997, which resulted in the new name HSR Hochschule für Technik Rapperswil.
Due to a restructuring of the cantonal university landscape, the canton of Zurich withdrew from the sponsoring concordat in 2008. The university is now supported by the cantons of St. Gallen, Schwyz and Glarus. In 2013 the ground-breaking ceremony took place for two new buildings: a student residence and a research center. The dormitory has been in operation since September 2014 and offers living space for 100 students. The research center was officially opened on April 22, 2016. The new building cost around 42 million francs. A second dormitory with 88 rooms was opened in September 2018.
The university ranks first in eduwo's 2018 education ranking.
On September 1, 2020, the HSR University of Applied Sciences in Rapperswil will be dissolved and integrated into the OST - Ostschweizer Fachhochschule as one of three locations. Two departments will be located in Rapperswil: IT and architecture, construction and planning (the technology department in the OST is managed from the Buchs location).
