The University in France

The University of Bayreuth is represented at a European research hub. The office's institutional partners are higher education and research institutions in Bordeaux. The hub helps to intensify existing research collaborations and initiate new ones.

The global hub strategy in Bordeaux helps the University of Bayreuth to achieve its goal of being strategically represented in selected hubs around the world. Despite digital communication and contact channels, research and teaching thrive on personal exchange, visibility, and having a reliable local point of contact. The Université de Bordeaux, the Université Bordeaux Montaigne, and the Institut Sciences Po Bordeaux also represent a major cluster of universities that are leaders in the fields covered by the University of Bayreuth's key research priorities: law, economics, chemistry, physics, materials science (especially polymer research), and African studies.

The Hub is also intended to make the Bayreuth campus more international. In this respect, The University of Bayreuth is able to tie in with existing traditions. In particular, the (further) development of joint programmes is now planned: the Franco-German Bachelor of Law (LL.B) (sponsored by the Franco-German University), the dual degree‚ Development Studies (M.Sc.), and the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree EIMAS – European Interdisciplinary Master African Studies, offered together with the Université Bordeaux Montaigne and the Universities of Bayreuth and Porto.
