    A solid university for research and learning

    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.

    Huge possibilities

    I finished my master’s degree as wll as my PhD at the RUB. I can only share my experience pursuant to the faculty of Chemistry, but overall it was a pleasure to study there. Beside the lectures, there are lot of offers for students as well as speciallized workshops for the PhD program. Nevertheless, it would have been beneficial to have a little bit more of online content, especially for the lectures since I had a long way to travel to the RUB.

    The Charm of Bochum

    The Ruhr University of Bochum (RUB) is often said to be one of the ugliest universities in Germany. I’ve studied there for two semesters already but I can tell you, that is the charm of Ruhr University Bochum. Yes, you will see one block-like-building next to the other but doesn’t this mass of grey represent a part of ‘Ruhrpott’ culture in Germany? Not to mention, the university also has green spots and even its own Chinese garden. So if appearance doesn’t matter much to you, and you value good education and nice professors, this university is suitable. It offers a wide range of programmes. My master’s degree for example gives me a lot of freedom in which courses I want to take, thus giving me the ability to go after my interests. One downside to the RUB, however, is that some professors need a long time to hand in grades. So sometimes you’ll have to write their secritary etc. Overall I had a good experience at RUB so far though.
