Further information

Welcome!

The Ruhr University Bochum, the Technical University of Dortmund and the University of Duisburg-Essen have been cooperating strategically and successfully in the University Alliance Ruhr (UA Ruhr) since 2007. With over 120,000 students and around 1,300 professors, the UA Ruhr is one of the largest and most productive scientific locations in Germany.

To strengthen international cooperation, the UA Ruhr maintains three liaison offices: the Liaison Office Eastern Europe/Central Asia (EECA) is responsible for cooperation in Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus and Central Asia, the Liaison Office New York is responsible for North America, and the Liaison Office São Paulo represents the UA Ruhr in Latin America.

The Liaison Office EECA represents the three partner universities of the UA Ruhr in its target region, increases the visibility of the Ruhr area as an innovative research and science location, and promotes sustainable academic exchange between East and West.

Kick-off event for Studienbrücke: The launch of the programme in Turkey marks the expansion of the existing offering to a new location.
The kick-off workshop in Istanbul marks the official launch of the Studienbrücke programme in Turkey. The expansion of the preparatory study programme will specifically strengthen and further develop networking between German and Turkish student mobility.

The Studienbrücke initiative in Turkey was launched with an intensive kick-off workshop in Istanbul. The workshop provided partner organisations with an opportunity for exchange and networking. Particular attention was paid to developing a programme track suitable for the Turkish education system. The first cohort of students is scheduled to start the programme in September 2026. Participation in the UA Ruhr - Mintakademie will already be possible for interested parties from Turkey in July 2026.

The UA Ruhr liaison office is responsible for implementing the Studienbrücke programme for the universities of the University Alliance Ruhr and supports the further expansion of the programme together with other partners.
