Talent Development in Schools

Many institutions and programs help school students to explore the world of academia and the university cosmos and provide information on individual paths to university.

Programs for School Students

Ruhr University Bochum offers a wide range of programs for school students to explore the campus, gain insights into academic studies, and discover specific subject areas in more detail.

Talent scouts

Our talent scouts look after students attending vocational colleges, grammar schools and comprehensive schools in Bochum and the Ennepe-Ruhr district who are looking for support in planning their future. Talent scouts are on the lookout for the sometimes hidden talents of the students – these are not necessarily reflected in their school grades. Anyone who would like to get support, or who shows exceptional commitment or individual abilities, will find advice and a sympathetic ear from our talent scouts.

Former school students from the NRW Talent Scouting programme who are now pursuing a degree at Ruhr University Bochum or who wish to stay in touch with their talent scouts can exchange ideas at the talent network meeting.
