kompass

2024-07-30

Thank you so much for participating in our Urban Gardening Picnic! It was a great pleasure to have you with us.

We would be delighted to see you again at our future events.

kompass is a team in the International Office at the University of Bremen that carries out international and intercultural projects. Our programs and events bring foreign and German students together. We provide orientation, broaden horizons, highlight points in common, and build bridges for your professional future. Friendly, welcoming, and open for all!

The Student Communities and project groups supported by kompass are vivid examples of the cultural diversity that shapes campus life at the University of Bremen. They help make our international students feel welcome - almost like home away from home. At the same time, they foster communication among students of other nations and thus make an important contribution towards international understanding and integration.

The Communities and project groups currently supported by kompass: Bangladesh Community Bremen, Cameroonian Community in Bremen e.V.(CCB), Chinese Student Community in Bremen, Ghanaian Students in Bremen, Guenian Students Association in Bremen, Indonesian Student Community Bremen, Islamic Student Association (IHB), ISAB (Indian Students Association Bremen), Ivorian Community (Elfenbeinküste), Nigerian Community, Pakistan Students Association at University of Bremen (PSA), Turkish students in Bremen (TSB)

The Study Buddy program helps international students find their way around Bremen quickly. You can build new friendships, practice foreign languages and gain international contacts.

You can find more information here!

Once a month we discover different places together in Bremen. We have already been in the Bürgerpark, at the Christmas Market and did a scavenger hunt on campus.

Keep an eye on our calendar and our social media pages to not miss a Happy Places tour.
