The University of Bochum (Ruhr-Universität Bochum) is the first new founded university in Germany after World War II. Having 35,000 students, it is one of the 10 biggest universities in Germany.
It was desribed as a modern, reformed university in the 1960s. The Ruhr-University was the first German university to offer Bachelor degrees in the early 1990s (until the end of the 1990s Bachelor degrees were unknown in Germany)
The university of Bochum is very famous for its concrete architecture. It is the only German university with a statistic for suicides, because it has very high buildings. Until 2002 it was one of the 6 largest German universities (sometimes with more than 40,000 students), but after starting study fees the number of students dropped down dramatically.
