Our Approach
AiB is a value-based education abroad provider. In its educational work, AiB is committed to a humanistic and holistic educational ideal. It counts among its guiding values the endeavor to deal responsibly with nature and natural resources, the advocacy of an open, liberal society, and in particular the respect for freedom of thought, science and art. AiB regards itself as an international academic forum that brings people and cultures together and enables them to engage in an open exchange with a focus on social perspectives for the future.
Tailor-made Education Abroad
Our program design is specific and tailored to the needs and expectations of our partner institutions. In our portfolio there is not one program like the other, each institution of higher education has its own goals and its own mission. We are eager to match your goals and strategic directions and offer pedagogical innovations and customized programs.
Our Services
"AiB takes care of it" covers all aspects of education abroad program design and delivery. We offer academic services, including curriculum-based summer and semester programs, study tours, local faculty, academic collaborations, workshops, and conferences. Our logistical services include pre-departure workshops, airport transfers, accommodations for students and guest faculty, visa support, extracurricular activities, and modern classroom technology.
Our City: Bonn
Bonn is an ideal education abroad destination, offering a safe, welcoming atmosphere with global reach. Home to Bonn University, the United Nations, and top research institutions, it fosters international networking and academic exchange. With 325,000 residents, a rich history, vibrant culture, and efficient infrastructure, Bonn provides a unique German experience. Its public transport, nearby airports, and proximity to cities like Paris and Amsterdam make it an attractive and accessible location.
Ensuring Safety and Health
AiB staff is trained in health, safety, and risk management, offering a 24-hour emergency contact, medical care assistance, and bilingual support. A systematic response system ensures communication during emergencies, and we collaborate with partners, authorities, and embassies to share important updates. Orientation sessions cover safety, health, and emergency procedures. AiB’s network includes English-speaking medical professionals and supportive host families. Bonn provides a high standard of living, low crime, and an international, English-friendly environment.
