The university cafeteria ("Uni-Mensa") offers a wide range of meals.

You will experience Northern Germany, and we will provide a lot of activities in Bremen as well as a trip to Hamburg and one day in the maritime city of Bremerhaven.

Bremen is famous for its Old Town, the Werder Bremen football team (with its own museum), the Becks brewery, live music, and excellent museums.

If you want to relax, you can go to the river, rent a bike for a ride through the countryside, or just have a cup of coffee in one of Bremen's many street cafés. Sports activities will also be offered.

The University of Bremen was founded in 1971. What was to become known as the "Bremen Model" was conceived in times of social reform. Its core elements apply to this day and it was these basic principles which first made the subsequent research success possible: interdisciplinary orientation, research-based learning in teaching projects, orientation to practice, and, one of the newly added guiding principles, internationalisation of teaching and research.

The Hanseatic city on the banks of the Weser River emanates a special charm. Bremen enjoys a reputation for being cosmopolitan and tolerant. It has a lot to offer: ports and ships, universities, colleges, high technology, and picturesque, narrow streets built in centuries past as well as a comprehensive programme of sports and cultural events.
