A healthy University
Healthy Campus Bonn

Studying, researching, teaching and working together in good health

Your health is important to us! Working in collaboration with a range of cooperation partners, we provide a range of free-of-charge health-related information and services and organize events focusing on physical, mental and social health. Together, we consider the conditions of work and study at the University of Bonn and take steps to ensure a healthy environment.
Seeking to foster a culture of needs-driven continual improvement, we are dependent on your feedback and input to achieve our goal of a truly “Healthy Campus”.

Tell us what the problem is - University of Bonn staff are asked to submit feedback regarding the issue of healthy working practices, which the University incorporated in the development of targeted measures to ensure good, health-conscious working conditions.

Student mental health survey

November 10 to December 12, 2025

Although being a student means new opportunities and experiences, it also brings wide-ranging demands that can sometimes become a genuine burden. Our aim with this survey is to get a comprehensive idea of our students’ mental health, not just in terms of stress factors (“stressors”) but also with regard to things that provide strength and support. Students at the University of Bonn can participate in the survey by clicking on the link in the invitation email from the Center for Evaluation and Methods (ZEM).

Scientific supervision

Scientific evaluation of our health-oriented strategy ensures continual quality assurance and its needs-driven adaptation and development.
