“We are a University of Excellence”

The University of Bonn is one of only eleven Universities of Excellence in Germany appointed today and one of two in North Rhine-Westphalia. With the six Clusters of Excellence acquired last September, the University of Bonn is the most successful university in the Germany-wide Excellence competition. We are happy and proud to be part of that excellent University.

We look forward to continue our excellent research in this great scientific environment.
