Franco-German cooperation at the University of Strasbourg
Strasbourg is closely linked to Germany by its history and geopolitical location. The University of Strasbourg has nearly 300 Erasmus+ partnerships in Germany and Austria. It encourages students and staff to go on mobility programmes to German-speaking countries, and hosts a large German-speaking community in Strasbourg. In addition to partnerships with German institutions, the university continuously seeks to develop collaborative networks such as Eucor – The European Campus, the Knowledge Transfer Upper Rhine2 (KTUR2) project and the interdisciplinary research hub GermanoPôle.
A relationship at the heart of education and research
The university offers more than 60 Franco-German study programmes that allow students to obtain a double or triple degree (Bachelor's, Master's or postgraduate degree in engineering). A large majority of these programmes are accredited by the Franco-German University (FGU). Many other study programmes focus on the German-speaking world. The university also has several doctoral colleges accredited by the FGU.
