Ruhr Campus Academy (2026/27)
RCA
The Ruhr Campus Academy (RCA) is a non-profit subsidiary of the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) that provides academic continuing education for working professionals. It was founded in 2001 to let university members run continuing education programmes without bureaucratic or organisational overhead. The RCA takes care of the organisation, so that instructors can focus entirely on content and teaching. The academy launched in early 2002 with a master's programme in Business Informatics and a certificate course in grief counselling, both of which are still offered today.

It was founded in 2001 to let university members run continuing education programmes without bureaucratic or organisational overhead. The RCA takes care of the organisation, so that instructors can focus entirely on content and teaching. The academy launched in early 2002 with a master's programme in Business Informatics and a certificate course in grief counselling, both of which are still offered today. Its portfolio now includes two part-time master's programmes, further courses leading to a university certificate, and one-day seminars. Topics range from economics and politics to grief counselling, with programmes on digitalisation currently in particularly high demand. The offering targets professionals who want to earn a higher degree or update their knowledge and skills. By its 20th anniversary in 2021, the RCA had awarded more than 11,000 university certificates and produced around 600 master's graduates.

Numerus Clausus (Admission Restriction)
For degree courses with a numerus clausus, part of the study places are allocated according to the grade point average (GPA) of the previous degree. Selection is generally based on how many applicants apply for a place. The higher the grade, the more difficult it is to get onto the course. The German grading system ranges from 1.0 (very good) to 6.0 (unsatisfactory).
