Ruhr University of Bochum
speciality: Linguistics

I have been studying M.A. in Linguistic Data Science at Ruhr-Universität Bochum for two years now, and overall it has been a good experience.
The teaching quality is strong — professors are knowledgeable and the courses are well-structured. RUB also offers great research opportunities, which is something I really value as a Master’s student. The campus itself is large and has good facilities, making it a comfortable place to study.
One area that could be improved is support for international students. Navigating university life in a new country can be challenging, and better guidance in this area would make a big difference. That said, this is a minor point compared to the many positives.
Overall, I would recommend RUB to anyone looking for a research-focused university with a strong academic environment.
