Based on our experience with former exchange students we strongly suggest to study not more than 15 to 25 CP per semester.
If you wish to stay for two semesters your choice might look like the following example:

Semester 1:

• A-Module
• German course
• Additional course (e.g. module of the “Optionalbereich” or lecture series)

Semester 2:

• A-Module or S-Module
• Second German course
• Additional course (e.g. module of the “Optionalbereich” or lecture series)

• List of English Modules Summer Term 2024
• List of English Modules Winter Term 2023/2024
• Application form for A-modules

Optionalbereich

Here you can find multiple courses/lectures/seminars which might be of interest for you:

However, most modules of the “Optionalbereich” are not taught in English and their topics are often not related to biology.

International Course Catalogue

In the “International Course Catalogue” of the Ruhr University you might also find some courses taught in English which are suitable for you.
