About Ruhr-Universität Bochum
Ruhr-Universität Bochum is a Public university in Europe, ranked #402 in the QS World University Rankings 2027. We confirm the exact fees, intakes and entry requirements for your profile — free.
Programmes here are €0–€4,995/yr — sourced from the university's own fees pages across 23 published programmes. Your exact fee depends on the course — we confirm it, free.
Entry requirements
Typically for German universities in this band — largely universities of applied sciences (Fachhochschulen/HAW) and private institutions — a bachelor's in a closely related subject from a recognised Indian university, usually around 60% or above (roughly 6.0/10 or higher); a three-year Indian bachelor's is normally accepted where the awarding university is recognised. English-taught master's do exist at this level, though fewer, and usually ask for IELTS 6.5 (some accept 6.0); German-taught ones normally need C1 (TestDaF 4x4 or DSH-2). Subject match is the real filter here, and APS certification is compulsory for Indian applicants — start it early, as it takes several weeks. Requirements vary by programme — Vibedu confirms the exact ones for you, free.
Indicative for international postgraduate applicants — your counsellor confirms the exact cut-offs and English scores for your chosen programme, free.
Living cost calculator
Estimate your total cost of study. Pick your programme length: We don't have a source-backed tuition figure for Ruhr-Universität Bochum, so this covers living costs only. Pick your programme length:
Indicative estimate (annual tuition + living, €). Your counsellor confirms exact fees, living costs and the scholarships that reduce this — free. Living costs are an indicative national range in €, not this university's own figure. Tuition varies by course here, so we'd rather confirm your exact fee than print an average — ask us and it's free.
Exchange rates as of 18 Aug 2026 (30 days ago) — European Central Bank reference rates (AED via open.er-api.com), mid-market. The INR figure is converted from € at that rate. Your bank's remittance rate will be worse than mid-market, and currencies move a percent or two a month, so use these for planning rather than as the amount you will actually pay.
