The Center for Higher Education (CHE) published the new CHE University Ranking 2019/2020 on May 7, 2019. The course Civil Engineering is one of the best rated in six categories.

Within the framework of the CHE University Ranking, students are asked about the study conditions at their university. In total, the CHE Ranking includes more than 150,000 surveyed students and more than 300 universities and universities of applied sciences. This makes the CHE Ranking one of the most comprehensive and detailed university comparisons in German-speaking countries.

These top groups were achieved by the Civil Engineering degree programmes:

- Support for studies
- Study organisation
- Examinations
- Premises
- IT infrastructure
- General study situation

In addition, the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering and its range of courses were convincing in the following areas:

- Support at the beginning of the study
- Contact to professional practice in the Master's programme
- International orientation in the Master's programme
- Doctorates per professor

Extracts from the CHE Ranking were published in the German magazine "ZEIT Studienführer", which supports prospective students in their choice of study with suitable advice articles. The complete evaluation of the RUB study programmes in the context of the CHE University Ranking can be found on the websites of ZEIT CAMPUS ONLINE.
