Ruhr-University Bochum

The Ruhrgebiet has always stood for cosmopolitanism and diversity. As varied as the countries of origin and social backgrounds of the people in the region, so diverse, creative and diverse are the impulses that come together here. They are the ideal breeding ground for modern learning, teaching, research, living networking and curiosity. For the new gold of the region is no longer from the pit - but radiates out of laboratories, seminars and lecture halls out into the world.

Portrait

Our credo is human – cosmopolitan – powerful. These qualities make us:

Human

Our students and employees are our potential. We want to provide our students with the best education. We discover and develop talents early on. We take responsibility for our members and for society. We consciously seek contact with the public and promote and value dialogue between the academic community and citizens alike.

Cosmopolitan

We perceive differences as enriching and network to learn together in a sustainable way and work together in a fruitful way. People from more than 130 nations study and work at the RUB – and help each other to advance. To strengthen international exchanges, we cooperate with universities, companies and research institutes around the world.

Powerful

Performance is the foundation of science and study. The Ruhr-Universität promotes the development of young people and the progress of excellent science. For innovative results, we deliberately keep the boundaries between the disciplines low and accelerate the transfer to practice. This brings together specific expertise and a comprehensive look ahead in the RUB.
