UA Ruhr Fellowships

The University Alliance Ruhr established two fellowship programs that enable a special exchange between the Ruhr area in Germany and different locations in the United States. We select two cohorts of high performing students and give them the once in a lifetime opportunity to gain cultural and professional experience in the corresponding region.

Transatlantic Ruhr Fellowship Program

The Transatlantic Ruhr Fellowship Program provides highly motivated and high performing students from the University Alliance Ruhr with a unique experience to expand their portfolio and networks to New York’s tristate area. North America’s most populous area and the center of many industries such as finance, international trade, biotechnology, manufacturing and media.
