After a cyber attack at the beginning of May, all the RUB servers were shut down as a precautionary measure, which is why it was not possible to receive/read and send any mails for a long period of time.
Unfortunately not all mails sent to the mailbox admission@uv.rub.de during this period could be restored.
If you have not yet received a reply to an e-mail request between the beginning of May and 21.06.2020, please send another e-mail with your request.
Applicants are kept updated on the admission process via the information portal admission. Here, you can view all information on your online application.
Admission letters are available for download on the information portal after the admission process is completed, and they have to be accepted within a specified period of time. Rejection letters are likewise available for download on the information portal after the application process is completed.
Places at university are offered via admission letters. Each letter specifies a deadline by which the place has to be accepted; if it is not accepted, the place is forfeit. Moreover, the application letter specifies the deadline by which the applicant – if they accept the place – has to enrol in person.
After getting accepted, applicants indicate online if they accept or reject the place. Thus, RUB is always up-to-date with regard to the number of allocated and available places. In the next step, the university opens a dynamic clearing process: rejected places are offered to students whose application is pending, to ensure that all available places are filled.
Another unique feature at RUB is as follows: usually, a university cannot send out admission letters for degree courses that are subjects to restrictions until a Germany-wide application deadline has passed. To avoid this, RUB introduced a “best applicants” regulation: applicants with excellent A-levels results are offered a place immediately after their application has been reviewed, before the official deadline has passed. Thus, the applicants are spared the effort of applying to different universities, uncertain if they will be accepted.
If there are still vacancies left in degree courses that are subject to restriction after the applications are closed, those places are allocated in a random selection process.
Applications for the random selection process at RUB have to be submitted separately within the following periods:
In addition to the random selection at RUB, places in some degrees courses are allocated in a clearing process conducted by Stiftung für Hochschulzulassung (hochschulstart.de). Students who wish to be considered for these clearing processes must submit separate applications within the following periods:
It is possible to apply for only one random selection process or for all of them.
