Our Seven Faculties
The seven faculties constitute the heart and center of the University of Bonn
The University of Bonn has divided its teaching and research activities into seven faculties, which are themselves subdivided into a number of institutes, departments and even clinics. These seven bodies are supplemented by a number of units which are subject to the direct authority of the University senate. This enables them to perform their specific tasks. The seven faculties are each run by a Dean and a faculty council staffed by members of the Dean's Office and the academic groups. A number of the faculties date back to the foundation of the University of Bonn in 1818; others were added at a later date.
