As an international research university, the University of Bonn maintains a variety of excellent relationships with renowned higher education institutions from around the globe.

## Partner Universities

A number of departments and institutes are involved in inter-faculty and university-wide partnership programs. Often with a long history, they have been established on a long-term footing. Many of these partnership agreements incorporate a student exchange program or shared degree programs and are centrally managed. The University of Bonn maintains especially close contacts with its six strategic partner universities.
