Our profile

Internationality is a strategic profiling objective of the University of Bremen. We see internationalization as a process that extends into all areas of the university. As a University with an international flair, we welcome people from more than 100 nations who live, study and work on our campus. They enrich our teaching and research and are a core element of our success.

Studying at the University of Bremen opens up opportunities for a range of versatile international experiences. Our teaching and research activities are internationally oriented and networked worldwide. The University of Bremen promotes and supports all members in benefiting from its internationality, but also in contributing towards it.

In awareness of its responsibility to society in general, the University of Bremen works together with partners on finding solutions to pressing global challenges and contributes to sustainable development worldwide.

Internationalization strategy

The internationalization strategy sets the University’s goals in the frame of internationalization for the next decade. It defines priorities and regional issues and promotes the further development as well as the strategic orientation of global cooperation.

Strategy 2018-2018 is currently work in progress in the context of a university-wide discussion process. The new strategy will further enhance profile building and take into account the development of internationalization at all levels of the University over recent years. It links into the vision and the goals 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 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 the campus.
