The internationalization strategy sets the university’s objectives in the frame of internationalization for the next decade. It defines thematic and regional priorities and promotes the continuous strategic development of our global cooperation.

A new internationalization strategy is currently being worked on and subject to a university-wide discussion process. The new strategy will further strengthen our profile and take into account the development of internationalization at all levels of the university over recent years. It links into the vision and the objectives of the university’s overall strategy.

The previous internationalization strategy was published in 2011:

Internationalization Strategy 2011-2017

The University of Bremen is committed to multilingualism: In 2017, it was one of the first universities in Germany to publish a language policy paper which makes recommendations for the use of language in science and everyday university life. Our students acquire the language skills they need for careers on the German as well as the international job market. The university encourages and actively supports all its members to learn new languages, to make use of their native language in everyday working life, and to help breathe life into multilingualism on campus.

Language Policy

Our strategic partner universities are characterized by extensive networking and cooperation in research and teaching in several subjects as well as their comparability in terms of size, objectives, and resources. There is a mutual agreement to sustainably develop our partnership together.

We offer students and teachers a variety of options for a stay abroad: Whether within Europe via the ERASMUS program, outside of Europe at one of our international partner universities, or even at an international university of your choice initiated by yourself. Whether you want to study, undertake an internship, or a teaching or research stay, you will find more information here:

Teaching Abroad

The Welcome Center offers visiting international researchers information and advice on their stay in Bremen. We answer questions about visas, residence permits, insurance, and child care and offer help in finding accommodation. In addition, we offer a comprehensive program of events.

Stay in touch! Together with the alumni association, we maintain a worldwide network of alumni. No matter if your stay in Bremen was for studying, research or work – we offer numerous events and worthwhile information. There are several regional groups spread around the world. Our “Research Ambassadors” contribute to visibility and networking.

As part of the kompass program, the International Office realizes numerous international and intercultural projects for and with international and German students. The events, organized by the students themselves, allow them to participate, orientate themselves, broaden their horizons, sharpening their views of common issues and interests, and building bridges into their professional future. Welcoming and open to everyone!

The University of Bremen offers prospective and current students as well as researchers who had to flee from their home countries various ways to access the university.
