International partner universities
The HFR is in close contact with more than 40 universities worldwide.
The HFR cooperates with 16 European universities and four universities in Japan (Erasmus+ partner universities) in the Erasmus+ programme. These universities are suitable for a semester abroad (study).
In addition, the HFR is networked with international cooperation partners in research and cooperation projects (cooperation partners). The HFR also supports individual researchers in their cooperation with international universities (individual cooperation).
California State University – the state programme between California State University and Baden-Württemberg
HFR students can participate in the California State University programme (uni-tuebingen.de/international/studieren-im-ausland/wege-ins-ausland/weitere-angebote/california-state-university/). If you are interested, please contact the HFR International Office.
