Study start Ruhr

From school to university: in order to make this transition and the start of studies smoother, the universities in the Ruhr region support their students with numerous offers. "Studienstart Ruhr", a measure of the RuhrFutur education initiative, is now developing these further.

The first phase of studies is crucial for a successful course of study. The seven RuhrFutur universities, including Fachhochschule Dortmund, have already launched many individually tailored (advisory) services for their heterogeneous target group. First-time graduates, students with professional experience who do not have a high school diploma or new immigrant students benefit, for example, from preliminary mathematics courses, support for learning techniques and self-organization skills and peer mentoring.

The common goal: to provide all students with the best possible support. With "Studienstart Ruhr", Fachhochschule Dortmund, Bochum University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Dortmund University of Technology, the University of Duisburg-Essen, Ruhr West University of Applied Sciences and Arts and the Westphalian University of Applied Sciences and Arts want to strengthen their good cooperation as part of RuhrFutur. To this end, they will compile, systematize and make their concepts transparent. In this way, the respective offers for the introductory phase of studies can be innovatively further developed in future, taking into account the results and experiences of all universities.
