The Bonn-Cologne Graduate School of Physics and Astronomy (BCGS) is a joint program of graduate studies between the universities of Bonn and Cologne. The program leads students with a bachelor's degree in physics (or related subject) to a master's degree. The most successful students then move on to doctoral studies, leading to a PhD. The M.Sc. and PhD programs are offered in both physics and astrophysics.

The BCGS provides mentoring and research internships, scholarships, travel funds, and a research environment. In 2007, it was selected for funding by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft as part of the excellence initiative.
