The Ruhr-Universität was prominent from its beginning:
as the first new university to be founded in Germany after
the war; and as the first university to integrate engineering
on a single campus. Today it is the introduction of Bachelor
and Master degree programmes - there is no other university
in Germany that is so advanced in implementing the Bologna
Process. The Ruhr-Universität exudes excellence in research
and diversity in its international contacts.
Mission Statement
Supporting the development of a responsible understanding: this
is the ambitious mission of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum.
Latest Achievements
Designated a "Best Practices University 2004" - the Ruhr-Universität
Bochum is collecting prizes for its reform of teaching and the
support of young academics. The RUB is proud of its latest achievements.
Research
The best capital in international competition is research. At
the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, research is as prominent and
diverse as the university itself.
Teaching and Study
The RUB encompasses the entire spectrum from the natural and
engineering sciences to the humanities and the social sciences
to medicine. RUB reform is often a model for others.
From School to University
Test it - 365 days a year, on campus, or in the internet: with
its generous programmes for schoolgoers the RUB makes the switch
to university easier.
International
Five international graduate schools, over 4500 students from
130 countries, over 300 partners in the Sokrates-/Erasmus Programme:
INTERNATIONAL is written in capital letters at the Ruhr-Universität
Bochum.
Regional Leader
Giving a new impulse to structural change in the Ruhr Region:
this was the aim of the RUB when it opened in 1965. Since then
it has become the flagship in one of the most densely populated
higher education landscapes in Europe.
