Web Landscape
at RUB
The website landscape at Ruhr University Bochum is diverse.
The central web presence bundles the public web presences of the university administration, other central institutions, and the strategic topics of the university management. It represents the entire Ruhr University Bochum (RUB) – even if by reference – in the areas of study, research, university, and institutions.
Decentralized institutions, such as faculties, regularly have their own web presences, which they create and maintain themselves.

Web Presences of Other Institutions at RUB
The (de)central and scientific institutions, such as faculties, chairs, affiliated institutes, central operating units, etc., have their own web presences, which they create and maintain themselves.
It is important to bear in mind that both students and external parties should, as a matter of principle, perceive Ruhr University Bochum as a single unit, and that this should also be reflected in its online presences.
