New: Exciting modules for the summer semester 2025 at the RUB!
The new offer of the optional area at the Ruhr University Bochum for the summer semester of 2025 has been officially published. Students now have the opportunity to gain qualifications in a variety of competency-oriented modules. The topics cover practice, language, research, international affairs and other areas. This offers a promising opportunity for students to significantly expand their skills and has already generated a lot of interest in how news.rub.de reported.
A central component of the new program are the democracy modules. With the module "Attention, Democracy! Current and historical tasks for Germany and Europe", the Institute for German Studies addresses fundamentally important questions about democracy. In addition, the Historical Institute offers modules that deal with human rights, migration and freedom. The Professional School of Education focuses on “Jewish life and anti-Semitism in Germany”. Further modules examine digitalization and its connection to democracy, while the Music Center offers creative approaches to memory and dialogue.
Sustainability and language certificates
Another focus of the program is sustainability. This includes, among other things, a BMBF-funded module that deals with the energy transition through alternative perspectives from students. In addition, students should be trained as ESD tutors in order to promote education for sustainable development. In addition, an offer for language certificates in Modern Standard Arabic, Modern Persian and Modern Turkish was introduced to enable students to engage more deeply with these languages.
An exciting event coming up at the RUB in the coming months is the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games, which will take place from July 16th to 27th, 2025. This international multi-sport event is considered the largest after the Olympic and Paralympic Games and offers competitions in a total of 18 sports in Bochum, Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Essen and Mülheim an der Ruhr. Students have the opportunity to become active as a RUB volunteer or ambassador and can have these experiences recognized as part of the study modules.
