UA Ruhr Liaison Offices
The University Alliance Ruhr (UA Ruhr) is an alliance between Ruhr Universität Bochum, TU Dortmund University, and the University of Duisburg-Essen, the three strongest universities in Germany’s thriving Ruhr Area. The UA Ruhr liaison offices carry out the message of the strength of the Ruhr Area as a research and study location into the world. Within a short period of time, these offices have initiated many exchange and scholarship programs, as well as research agreements, thus providing a valuable contribution to the international orientation of the Ruhr Area.
