Welcome

The Bonn-Cologne Graduate School for Physics and Astronomy BCGS is a joint program of graduate studies between the universities of Bonn and Cologne. The program leads students with a bachelor's degree in physics (or related subject) through an MSc phase to doctoral studies.

The BCGS provides mentoring and research internships, scholarships, travel funds and a vibrant research environment at the forefront of modern physics. Research areas at the two departments of Bonn and Cologne span almost the entire range of current physics: from astrophysics, biophysics and condensed matter research to particle physics, quantum optics and string theory.
