RUB Campus

The RUB is an impressive educational institution, characterized by its modern architecture and a spacious, green campus landscape. Founded in 1962, it is now one of Germany’s largest universities and plays a central role in the scientific landscape of the Ruhr area. RUB's campus features a variety of facilities, including libraries, research laboratories, and lecture halls, which are open not only to students but also to visitors. The RUB is known for its interdisciplinary research and promotes collaboration across different fields.

For a relaxing time in-between lectures, you can visit many of the different parks and spots of nature near the campus area. The Ruhr University Bochum even features a botanical garden behind the G-buildings in walking distance.

The main buildings are equipped with Cafeterias, other cafés are the Kulturcafé or Edwards directly at the campus. The Mensa features a lot of space and a menu that changes daily. There are also multiple dining options available at the Q-West, directly opposite of the GA building.

For the occasional shopping (drinks, office supplies, old records) you can visit the Campuscenter located in front of the GA building. For grocery shopping, you can visit the Uni-Center just across of university campus with a wide variety of different shops, restaurants and bakeries.
