RUB owes its success in research to the close links between the disciplines on campus, which enable it to respond flexibly to current research questions. This approach makes RUB a place of top international research, which is integrated into the worldwide network of the most powerful scientific institutions in its priority areas.
RUB students also benefit from this success in science, as they are involved in research from the very beginning thanks to the principle of research-based learning. Talents can develop here; the RUB makes sure of this with numerous programs that promote individual development at every stage of the career path. This commitment also extends beyond the boundaries of the scientific system: industry and transfer do not remain abstract topics during their studies, but students with an entrepreneurial spirit can try themselves out. Cooperation with industry for mutual benefit strengthens RUB and the region.
The “Creating Knowledge Networks” principle underpins RUB’s internationalisation strategy. The university has positioned itself as a world-class research institution within the international scientific community.
