In addition, the International Classroom Bonn⁹ seminar series offers interdisciplinary courses in English for exchange students.

We would like to point out that as a student of a Bachelor's degree program, you cannot choose courses from the Master's degree programs.

The courses in the Bachelor's degree programs are held in German, so that a very good knowledge of German is required to participate in the courses. In the Master's degree programs, numerous courses are offered in English.

As part of your stay abroad, you can choose one or multiple modules in the new Bachelor's and Master's programs at the Faculty of Agriculture. The courses of a module are designed in such a way that (with two exceptions) it is possible to complete a module in one semester. Please note that a module may also include tutorials or seminars.
