Ruhr University Bochum students who would like to stay in Europe may apply for the ERASMUS program via their faculty or department. Applications have to be submitted to the ERASMUS departmental coordinator, who will determine which documents have to be handed in by which deadlines. Accordingly, required application documents and deadlines may vary depending on the faculty or department. Generally, the ERASMUS deadlines for the academic year 2025/26, i.e. winter semester 2025/26 and/or summer semester 2026, end between November 2024 and February 2025.
