Ruhr University Bochum (German: ''Ruhr-Universität Bochum'', RUB), located on the southern hills of central Ruhr area Bochum, was founded in 1962 as the first new public university in Germany since World War II. Instruction began in 1965. The Ruhr-University Bochum is one of the largest universities in Germany and part of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, the most important German research funding organization. The RUB was very successful in the Excellence Initiative of the German Federal and State Governments (2007), a competition between Germany's most prestigious universities. It was one of the few institutions left competing for the title of an "elite university", but did not succeed in the last round of the competition. There are currently nine universities in Germany that hold this title. The University of Bochum was one of the first universities in Germany to introduce international bachelor's and master's degrees, which replaced the traditional German Diplom and Magister. Except for a few special cases (for example in Law) these degrees are offered by all faculties of the Ruhr University. Currently, the university offers a total of 184 different study programs from all academic fields represented at the university.〔 ==Organization== Ruhr University is financed and administered by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Currently, 42,718 students are enrolled, and the university employs around 5,600 staff (411 of which are professors),〔 making it one of the ten largest universities in Germany (as of 2014). Kurt Biedenkopf, who later became prime minister of the state of Saxony, was director of the university from 1967 to 1969. The university is organized in twenty different faculties. These are: * Faculty of Protestant Theology * Faculty of Catholic Theology * Faculty of Philosophy, Education and Journalism * Faculty of History (including the departments of History, Art History and Archaeological Sciences) * Faculty of Philology * Faculty of Law * Faculty of Economics * Faculty of Social Science * Faculty of East Asian Studies * Faculty of Sports Science * Faculty of Psychology * Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering * Faculty of Mechanical Engineering * Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology * Faculty of Mathematics * Faculty of Physics and Astronomy * Faculty of Geosciences * Faculty of Chemistry and Biochemistry * Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology * Faculty of Medicine English education ECUE - European Culture and Economy Interdisciplinary institutions * Interdisciplinary Centre for Advanced Materials Simulation (ICAMS) * International Graduate School of Neuroscience〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=IGSN - Home )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ruhr University Bochum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
