Buddy-Programm Natural.PALS
for Students of Natural Sciences
The Buddy-Programme Natural.PALS initiates study-partnerships between new international students in Natural Sciences at Ruhr-Universität Bochum and local students at the same faculty as their peer-tutors. International students benefit from individual and subject-specific support during the introductory phase of their studies. In joint meetings with other participants, they establish first contacts to both local and international fellow students.
Eligible are international students in their first year of studies in Biology (BSc, MSc), Chemistry (MSc), Biochemistry (MSc), and Geography (BSc). For winter semester 2019/20, applications are accepted until September 15th, 2019.
Students of Biology and Chemistry can have the programme recognised for their degree course; as an alternative, they can obtain a participation certificate.
Further information and the application form are available online: internatural.blogs.rub.de
