CHE-Ranking

Ruhr-Universität Bochum takes part in the CHE University Ranking every year. In this study, students evaluate their degree courses and conditions, and the results also include teaching and research performance, internationality and the practical relevance of a subject. All students of Ruhr-Universität Bochum who take part in the survey can win iPads and vouchers.

What is it about?

Every year, the Center for Higher Education Development (CHE) publishes the so-called CHE University Ranking, which presents and compares study programs and conditions at different universities in Germany.

Ruhr-Universität Bochum is taking part in the survey in the winter semester 2024/25 with the following degree courses:

  • Protestant Theology (incl. Magister Theologiae)
  • Philosophy
  • Educational science
  • History
  • Archaeological Sciences
  • Art History
  • General and comparative literature
  • Classical Philology
  • German philology
  • Romance Philology (French, Italian, Spanish)
  • English/American Studies
  • Slavic Philology, Russian Culture
  • Arabic and Islamic Studies
  • East Asian Studies, Languages and Cultures of East Asia, Sinology, Japanese Studies, Korean Studies
  • Religious Studies
  • Psychology
  • Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
  • Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering
  • Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Sales Engineering and Product Management

How do I take part in the survey?

All Bachelor students from the 3rd semester of the above-mentioned subjects will receive an invitation to the online survey from RUB by e-mail with a password for participation. From mid-October 2024 until February 2nd 2025 you have time to complete the online questionnaire. The questionnaire is available in German and English.

How is my anonymity guaranteed?

Participation in the survey is anonymous. The password for accessing the online survey is randomly assigned and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about specific individuals.

Why is it important that I take part in the survey?

The results of the CHE University Ranking are provided free of charge and published in the weekly newspaper "Die Zeit" and the online portal "Hey Studium".

Many prospective students, parents and teachers use the ranking for an initial orientation as to which degree programs at which universities were rated well. Every rating by RUB students therefore helps to draw the attention of as many prospective students as possible to the courses on offer at RUB.

The results also help RUB itself to continue to develop.
