It is a child of its age and the Ruhr region and its effect radiates far beyond its locality. Since its founding in the early 1960s, the Ruhr-Universität-Bochum (RUB) has grown quickly and has met all the expectations put into it in an exemplary manner.
With excellence in research and teaching, the RUB has been primarily responsible for changing the character of this once heavy industrial region. Have a look and see for yourself!

The first university to be founded in post-war Federal Republic of Germany (opened: 1965).
About 32,000 students, 381 professors, and 6,021 staff.
Future oriented, e.g. to the neurosciences, medical technology, and IT security.

Faculty

Total number of academic faculty staff who are responsible for planning, directing and undertaking teaching only, research only or both teaching and research. Please include: vice-chancellors, deputy vice-chancellors, principals, professors, heads of school, associate professors, principal lecturers, tutors or postdoctoral researchers. Please exclude research assistants*, PhD students who contribute to teaching, and exchange scholars or visiting faculty staff who are members of another university. * The important distinction for us is that staff counted as 'research only' should be academically involved in that research and should be likely to publish research outputs. A research assistant, in our understanding, is any individual who is not doing own research and is therefore not likely to publish own research outputs. Said individual is (only) involved in research in terms of operation execution , such as lab technician or equipment operator.
