The University of Bonn is a public institution that was founded in 1818. The university has facilities located throughout Bonn, a city in western Germany near the Rhine River. The city was the birthplace of the late composer Ludwig van Beethoven, and today is home to several United Nations organizations. In a recent year, more than 30,000 students were enrolled at the university and around 12 percent of the total student body was international, with students hailing from around 135 countries. The University of Bonn generally does not charge students for tuition, though students do pay a relatively low social fee each semester. This fee covers a public transportation pass, library access and other student services. Some student housing is available through the public organization Studierendenwerk Bonn.The university has seven main academic divisions – agriculture, arts, Catholic theology, law and economics, mathematics and natural sciences, medicine and Protestant theology – and follows a semester-based academic calendar. German is the primary language of instruction, though some English-taught or bilingual degree programs are available, mostly at the graduate level. Some of the English-taught master's options include programs in computer sciences, economics and mathematics. The university also offers language courses to help international students learn everyday German. Research bodies at the university include the Laboratory for Experimental Economics, the Bethe Center for Theoretical Physics and the Franz Joseph Dölger-Institut, focused on the study of late antiquity. The university has established partnerships with more than 70 global universities, including the University of Tokyo, the Australian National University and the Wageningen University and Research Center in the Netherlands.
