Studienbrücke partner universities

Since 2007, the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, TU Dortmund University and the University of Duisburg-Essen have been working in close strategic cooperation in the University Alliance Ruhr (UA Ruhr). Together, the partner universities initiate numerous cooperative ventures and offer their 100,000 or so students a particularly wide range of courses. At the same time, the individual UA Ruhr universities are developing complementary research focal areas so as to enhance their profiles and make them even more productive and attractive. By following this strategy of cooperation and competition, the University Alliance serves as a role model for the Ruhr, a former coal- and steel-producing region that is growing together and becoming one of the most interesting places for science and culture in Germany.

The UA Ruhr accepts successful graduates of the Studienbrücke programme from the Eastern
Europe/Central Asia region, and from the USA, Vietnam and South America.

At the Bauhaus-University Weimar, the future is being shaped across the boundaries of individual disciplines. The term “Bauhaus” stands for an eagerness to experiment, openness and innovation. This self-image is evident in research, art and teaching as well as a strong international network.

Since 1996, the Bauhaus-University Weimar has added its name to this history. It is an international university, at home in the cultural city of Weimar. Inspired by its history, around 4,000 students seek and find answers to current questions in science and technology as well as art and culture in 40 courses.
