What the faculty's programmes require
The university-wide requirements are complemented by the faculty's own — they are missed most often, because the university page does not list them.
For 1 German-taught programme: DSH, TestDaF or telc C1 Hochschule — before you apply, not after.
1 of the faculty's programmes are allocated centrally through hochschulstart.de (DoSV).

There are numerous interdisciplinary research collaborations. Most importantly among these is the participation in two collaborative research centres (Sonderforschungsbereich (SFB)) funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)), three DFG priority programmes, a DFG research group, two DFG research training groups, two BMBF (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung – Federal Ministry of Education and Research) projects, an Emmy Noether Young Researchers Group, the collaborative project at the Horst Görtz Institute for IT Security, the Floer Centre of Geometry and the National Centre for Teacher Training in Mathematics.
The Faculty of Mathematics runs the specialist Bachelor of Science and Master of Science programmes in mathematics. In addition, the faculty is closely involved with the Bachelor of Arts and Master of Education for RUB’s double-specialisation Bachelor/Master programme including the Bochum tiered teacher-training model. The faculty also offers a doctoral mathematics/computer science programme with an additional fast-track option.
The faculty also successfully runs the Service Centre for Mathematics and Applied Mathematics (Servicezentrum für Mathematik und Anwendungen – SZMA), which organises, develops and conducts all mathematics courses for the natural sciences, engineering, and psychology.
Moreover, the faculty is significantly involved in the degree programmes “Applied Computer Science”, “IT Security”, and “Computational Engineering”.
