Application Information for students from abroad
Welcome at Ruhr-University Bochum’s School of Management and Economics!
Our school offers Bachelor (B.Sc. and M.A.) as well as Master (M.Sc. and M.A.) programs. In what follows we give a brief description of our admission procedures.
Management and Economics (B.Sc.)
Applications from abroad are processed by our International office. For any information about your application and admission requirements please refer to http://international.rub.de/bewerbung/index.html.en.
Double Bachelor Programs (B.A.)
The Ruhr-University also offers the opportunity to enroll in a double program. In those programs you select two topics to study, while each of the topics chosen is weighted about equally. There is a broad range of subjects that can be combined. As one of your chosen subjects you can either decide for Management or for Economics. The topic chosen then can be combined with another humanity or natural science. Applications are processed by our International Office, please refer to http://international.rub.de/bewerbung/index.html.en.
