The Global Exchange Program opens a path for students at the University of Bonn’s partner universities outside Europe to study for a year or a semester at the University of Bonn. Nearly 100 different degree programs are offered, as well as a diverse range of courses to help program participants master the German language.

Program Objectives

The Global Exchange Program was founded to provide international students worldwide with the chance to spend a portion of their studies (one or two semesters) in Bonn. It offers students an unparalleled opportunity to expand their intercultural competencies while still studying for a bachelor’s or master’s degree by integrating them into daily life at a German university and the larger German society. The Global Exchange Program’s focus on improving students’ German language abilities is a major attraction, as this exposure to a German-language environment can later significantly improve a graduate’s career chances.

What does the program offer?

The chance to take regular university courses
German language classes at various levels
Optional dormitory housing
Cultural program
Support from the International Office during the entire stay abroad
