Over the next few months, students will once again have the opportunity to rate their study conditions as part of the student survey for the CHE University Ranking. The results in the engineering subjects will be updated for the CHE Ranking 2025/26. All RUB students who take part in the survey have the chance to win iPads and gift vouchers.

Every year, the Center for Higher Education Development (CHE) publishes the CHE University Ranking, which presents and compares study programs and conditions at various universities in Germany. In the winter semester 2024/25, Ruhr-Universität Bochum is taking part with the Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering degree programs, among others. All Bachelor students from the 3rd semester of the subjects surveyed will receive an invitation to the online survey with a password by e-mail from RUB. The online questionnaire can be completed until February 2, 2025 and is available in German and English. Participation in the survey is anonymous.

The results of the CHE University Ranking are made available 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 to guide their choice of degree course. Each evaluation thus helps to raise awareness of the RUB's offerings. The results also help RUB itself in its continuous development.
