Our credo is human – cosmopolitan – powerful. These qualities make us:
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.
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.
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.
The faculty determines the campus, the language of its programmes and the admission committee that evaluates your grades. Requirements can differ between faculties of the same university.
If your school certificate does not give direct admission, you first go to a Studienkolleg and pass the Feststellungsprüfung — it is recognised by every university. The colleges listed here are this university's partners.
The general procedure is the same for all programmes of the university; the required grade, language and additional requirements are on the page of each programme.

A programme is tied to a campus — when looking for housing, go by the campus, not by the university's main address.
Studying in Bochum: housing, transport, costs →Two typical stops: a school certificate without direct admission and German below the required level. Both can be solved within a year, but plan them before you apply, not after a rejection.

Requirements and deadlines differ within one university. We will pick 3–5 programmes for your certificate and language and plan everything back from the deadline.
