Studienspur Plus

Studienspur Plus prepares international prospective students for studying at Ruhr University Bochum, including subject-specific preparation, language and social integration.

The Structure

Studienspur Plus begins with an onboarding process on the campus of Ruhr University. During the onboarding you will get to know RUB, Studienspur and the International Office better. The German courses then start. As soon as you have successfully completed level B1, you will attend subject-specific courses in addition to the German course. These will prepare you for the TestAS. After completing Studienspur Plus, the International Office will support you with your application and the start of your studies.
