Opportunities for Refugees
The University of Bonn welcomes people with a refugee background. We want to help in your time of need and provide qualification, education and career opportunities. For prospective students with a refugee background, we offer free intensive German language courses as well as advice and support for future study as part of the program “NRWege ins Studium”. Students with a refugee background can be granted scholarships via the same program. Researchers who have to leave their home countries due to violence and persecution can be nominated by the University of Bonn for funding under the Philipp Schwartz Initiative, allowing them to continue their academic careers in safety. This webpage provides key information on the opportunities offered by the University of Bonn.

Opportunities for Researchers at Risk
