Research & teaching

The University of Tübingen maintains numerous institutional and individual contacts with France and francophone partners worldwide. This orientation is not only found in disciplines dedicated to the study of francophone cultures, literature, and societies (such as Romance studies, cultural studies, history, politics, etc.) but also extends to various other disciplines in the life and natural sciences (e.g. neurosciences, tropical medicine, geosciences, biology, to name but a few).

The University of Tübingen also benefits from its strategic partnership with the University of Aix-Marseille, which represents an important axis for this global orientation with its focus on the Mediterranean region and francophone Africa. This partnership also offers the double degree programs with numerous corresponding research focuses.
