Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) is one of Germany’s leading research universities.
The University draws its strengths from both the diversity and the proximity of scientific and engineering
disciplines on a single, coherent campus. This highly dynamic setting enables students and researchers to
work across traditional boundaries of academic subjects and faculties.
