How to enroll and how to register for exams

Everybody can join us for lectures and exercies. You only have to sign up in Moodle https://moodle.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/course/view.php?id=66993 so I know how many people are attending and I can reach you by Moodle e-mail, that’s very important.

If you want to register for the exam, there are the following options.

Group 2 – Students of University Alliance Ruhr – UA Ruhr (TU Dortmund and Uni Essen-Duisburg)

Students from these two universities are allowed to attend certain lectures and exams in order to expand the range of courses offered at their home university.

  • The students will be asked to directly contact me with the UA cooperation registration form and a valid certificate of enrollment at their home university. https://www.uaruhr.de/storages/uar/r/dokumente/formular_antrag_auf_zulassung_zu_lehrveranstaltungen_in_der_ua_ruhr_07_11_2017.pdf
  • I will approve participation in their exam on the first page of the form.
  • After being signed by the student, the form remains with the lecturer.
  • After completing the exam, the lecturer enters the exam result and the chair forwards the form to the exam office of the home university.
  • Failed exams are documented and forwarded in the same way as passed exams.

Group 3 – Students of other RUB faculties or other universities

All other students will be asked to directly contact the chair.

  • The registrations will be handled by us and we decide whether the students may take the exam.
  • We issue the exam certificates.
  • Students from other universities than TU Dortmund or Uni Duisburg-Essen have to enrol at RUB in order to attend lectures and exams.
  • In case of questions, the external students should contact their own exam office.
