RUB's Institution for Doctoral and Postdoctoral Researchers

RUB Research School is the campus-wide institution of all faculties for the promotion of doctoral and postdoctoral researchers of Ruhr-Universität Bochum. We offer complementary qualification beyond disciplinary borders, dedicated consulting, and a unique Research Around the World internationalization program. With this, we supplement the offers of our 21 faculties so that RUB's 4.000+ early researchers can benefit from an extensive range of support and services preparing them in the best possible way for a career in academia and beyond.
