General information

You are an international employee at the RUB and need German language skills to find your way around the university or to communicate in German with the administration? Do you perhaps even teach in German? Do you intend to do research in German (in addition to English)? Or do you have specific goals while learning German and need individual support? Then you have come to the right place.

The offer is open to all international employees of the RUB. International doctoral candidates and employees like professors and postdoctoral researcher/scholar as well as employees in technology and administration are welcome to participate.

"German for international staff members" contributes to a diverse welcoming culture at the RUB and provides intensive support for international employees in their working environment. The aim is to further improve the professional and social integration of international employees. The programme also attempts to bind these target groups more strongly to the RUB. The language challenges often overlap and the (social) exchange with employees from other faculties should be promoted in this interdisciplinary programme.


The programme consists of two parts.

Part 1: Modules in course form
Part 2: Individual offers
