International Office welcomes exchange students who have come to Bremen for the summer semester 2022. The traditional welcome breakfast could not yet take place in presence, but the Welcome Desk, which returns to its old form, did. Masks are still worn, but the personal consultation can be done much better and easier than via Zoom.

Internationalization Strategy
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:

Multilingualism
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.
moreStrategic Partnerships
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.
