The Erasmus+ Program enables students from the University of Bonn to spend one or two semesters studying abroad at a partner university elsewhere in Europe.

At the University of Bonn, Erasmus study placements are allocated by the Erasmus Departmental Coordinators in the various departments. The Erasmus Coordinator in the Department of Geography is Dr. Simone Giertz1.

Applications and selection criteria

  • Bachelor’s degree program: students will need to have completed basic and advanced modules in physical and human geography by the time they leave to study abroad, which will ideally be in their fifth and sixth semester.

Partner universities of the Department of Geography

  • Institut Francais Bonn

    The Institut Français in Bonn offers preparatory Erasmus courses and language courses at all levels in cooperation with the University of Bonn (www.fif.uni-bonn.de). Additional one-to-one courses can also be arranged on request. Please contact Ms. Ketterer (kurse.institutfrancais@uni-bonn.de) if you have any questions.

    Any students who are interested can also make use of the French media library (recent novels, DVDs, magazines, specialist literature) and the extensive program of cultural events (concerts, film evenings, public readings by authors, talks and debates in German and/or French).

Despite Brexit, Erasmus stays at our British partner universities can continue under the usual Erasmus conditions until the 2022/23 academic year. In other words, tuition fees are still waived and Erasmus funding is still available.
