Application process
The application for the M.Sc. IT Security is carried out in the service procedure via the application portal of the RUB. Only applications received within the deadline can be considered.
First you register in the application portal with an e-mail address and password. After registering, enter your details and upload your documents by the deadline so that we can check whether you fulfil all the requirements for enrolment.
With your login details, which you received after registering in the RUB application portal, you can check the status of your application at any time. Do this regularly while your documents are being checked so that you do not miss any notifications, follow-up questions and possible deadlines.
The examination at the faculty can take some time. Please be patient and refrain from inquiring during this time. As soon as we have a result, you will be informed in the application portal.
If you have received a letter of admission via the application portal and would like to start or continue your studies at the Ruhr-Universität, you must accept the study place in the portal by the deadline. You will find the deadline for acceptance in the letter of admission.
If we are able to admit you to the degree programme, you must attend the mandatory counselling interview at the Student Advisory Service ITS before enrolling. Here you will find out everything you need to know about the study programme and any unanswered questions will be clarified. The counselling session takes place in the form of an information event. We will inform you of the date by e-mail once your admission has been accepted.
Enrolment
Enrolment or re-enrolment is possible (after attending the counselling interview) within the deadline stated in your letter of admission. Once you have accepted your study place, you can start the online enrolment process via the application portal .
