The Buddy Programme Natural.PALS establishes contacts between new international students of Biology at Ruhr-Universität Bochum and local students as their peer-tutors.
As an international student you benefit from individual and subject-specific support during your first semester: Your “buddy” will assist you with gaining orientation and acquainting yourself with the particularities of Biology studies in Bochum. In joint meetings with other participants you get in touch with both, local and international fellow students.

For regular participation in the programme, you will obtain 4 credit points acknowledged for the Optionalbereich/BioPlus. The application form and further information are available online:
