Erasmus+ Cooperations

The Faculty of Social Science accepts Erasmus+ students from 28 partner universities in 18 countries. Our partner universities are to be found here:

RUB partnership programmes

Your faculty has no cooperation with our faculty? Check here if your university has a central partnership with RUB.

Freemover

If your university is not yet a partner of RUB, please apply as a freemover. Here you can find more information.

Our study guide provides basic information for all international students who join us as part of Erasmus+ or other exchange programs, double degrees or for regular studies. It presents key facts on our faculty, a little how-to of studying in Bochum, and introduces you to important contacts and places.

Find more information for incomings at the Ruhr-University Bochum on the website of the International Office!

Contact the RUBiss team for all questions concerning non-academic issues such as accommodation, visa issues and inscription procedures.

You like living abroad and would like to stay away even longer? Why not add an internship abroad to your stay? This can also be funded through Erasmus+. Find out more about this on the website of the European Commission or via the International Office of your home university. The Internship Office of the Faculty of Social Sciences can help you find an internship. Even though they do not have an englisch website you can contact them via mail (praktika@sowi.rub.de).
