Jacobs University Bremen

The university provides you with whatever an American system can offer - transdisciplinary courses throughout your 3 years embedded with the American Liberal Arts mandatory language module combination. Side by side with an intense standard European Education system compliant 3 year program.

If you think you are an open-minded, independent, academically integrated but also willing in engage in remarkable social activities, Jacobs University is indeed where you belong. The university is well-known for its internationality within an English-speaking campus. However, what is less known is the community that it builds up. With students from over 100 nations, I learned one thing that no professors can teach: empathy and understanding. It completely transformed me as a person. There are about 10 or more active student clubs/organizations/events so there are a lot of choices for you to participate in on-campus activities. Speaking of the quality of professors, most of my professors (my major is International Business Administration, I cannot speak for the professors of the whole school) have pretty much practical experiences beside teaching, so most of them are equipped with real life knowledge, which is much more than what is the the books. However, it would be difficult in preparing for the exams if you do not study by yourself after the lectures because the amount of information covered by the professors' lectures usually contain a lot of information that will not appear on the exams. The library is amazing. The space with glass windows and the enormous bookshelves make it heaven to those who enjoy spending their time in the library. The minus point is that unlike other universities in Germany, its tuition and other fees are pretty high (€26000/yearfor everything).
