How do I take part in the survey?

All Master's students with the exception of the M.Ed. in the above-mentioned subjects will receive an invitation to the online survey from RUB by e-mail with a password for participation. You have approximately from April 10 to August 10, 2025 to complete the online questionnaire. The questionnaire is available in German and English.

RUB will raffle off an iPad among all participating students:

an iPad
15 RUB canteen vouchers from AKAFÖ worth 30 euros

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.
