There are frequent queries about the following points in the documents:
If a visa is required for entry, you may need to plan several months in advance. The speed with which appointments are made and visas issued at embassies and consulates varies greatly. The researcher should contact the responsible embassy or consulate as soon as possible. Usually a visa can be applied for the purpose of research, for which a "hosting agreement" must be signed.
You can find more information here.
After entry, the Welcome Centre offers support in completing the relevant formalities. Please feel free to ask employees to register in the Welcome Centre data base even before their arrival in Germany.
Scientific employees coming to RUB from abroad can request accommodation in the guest houses for international researchers. The request should be made as early as possible, the allocation takes place 2 months before the planned move-in date. For organizational reasons, move-in can only take place on the 3rd day of the first month of rent after 12 noon. The request must be made through the chair/supervising institution.
Enrollment takes place via the online portal of the Student Secretariat. The Welcome Centre has compiled a step-by-step guide to enrollment.
Doctoral students can enroll at any time regardless of the deadlines. In principle, the full social contribution applies regardless of the time of enrollment. However, pro-rated ticking costs may be reimbursed by ASTA if applicable.
After sending the online enrollment, prospective doctoral students will receive an enrollment number and a link to a portal where all necessary documents must then be uploaded. It should be noted:
If a visa is required for entry, you may need to plan several months in advance. The speed with which appointments are made and visas issued at embassies and consulates varies greatly. The doctoral student should obtain information as soon as possible from the relevant mission abroad. As a rule, visas can be issued for the purpose of study or for the purpose of research.
For a visa for the purpose of study, the submission of an admission is usually required. For visiting doctoral students (with a degree from abroad) this can be requested from the Welcome Centre, for doctoral students at RUB the admission must be made by the faculty.
For a visa for the purpose of research, a "hosting agreement" must be signed.
