"Durchblick"- the RUBiss- Newsletter So many offers, so much information... the wide range of offers and facilities at Ruhr- Universität easily lead to confusion and it is almost impossible to see the complete picture. In order to help you see through, the RUBiss- Team has created the newsletter "Durchblick". In the 3 categories "Einblick" (insight), "Ausblick" (lookout) and "Rundblick" (panorama), the newsletter informs you on a regular basis (in German and English!) about matters that are of special interest for you as international students. The first edition of the (English) newsletter can be found here!

International Course Catalog At the beginning of Wintersemester 2009/10 the International Office publishes the International Course Catalog. The brochure contains a list of courses of different faculties at the Ruhr- Universität that are offered in English. The Cataloge will make it easier for all those who are interested to attend classes in English. The "International Course Catalog" is available as pdf.download and in print at the Info-Zimmer of the International Office (FNO 01/172). The International Course Catalog for Summer Semester 2010 will be published during the semester break!
