Goethe University Frankfurt, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, and the Technical University of Darmstadt have formed the strategic alliance of RHINE-MAIN UNIVERSITIES (RMU) since 2015. With over 90,000 students and 1,500 professors, they collaborate closely in the areas of research, study and teaching, people, and exchange.

As research universities with complementary profiles, the RMU institutions collaborate on key research topics in over 30 joint projects. Through their focus areas – DATA, HEALTH, MATTER, and SOCIETY – they address major scientific and societal challenges that no single institution can tackle on its own.

The range of programs offered by the Rhine-Main Universities includes more than 500 degree programs, over 50 of which are taught in English. In ten RMU joint degree programs, students benefit from the complementary strengths of multiple universities. The RMU Study Program opens up an exciting array of additional opportunities at the three universities for all students of the Rhine-Main Universities. This makes the Frankfurt-Rhine-Main region one of the most attractive places to study in Germany.

The Rhine-Main Universities are a global hub for talented and motivated individuals. Through the RMU Hub for ECRs, the universities jointly promote the academic development of early-career researchers. A joint human resources and leadership development program supports the professional growth of employees. All RMU job openings can be found on the career portal.

Close networking and intensive exchange are essential to academia, and the Rhine-Main Universities see themselves as a driving force for exchange. The vibrant exchange within the region, with society, politics, and business, as well as internationally, contributes decisively to shaping sustainable transformations. In this way, the Rhine-Main Universities advance the Frankfurt-Rhine-Main research region in an integrated and globally visible manner.
