Newcomer Service for Visiting Students

130 visiting students from European and non-European partner universities began their studies at the University of Bremen this summer semester.

The International Office of the university supported them with settling in in Bremen in a three-week orientation before the semester started. In cooperation with the Erasmus Initiative of the University of Bremen, the students were offered an extensive program. Be it a welcome breakfast at the Mensa, the Welcome Desk at the Studierhaus, a library as well as a city tour, and a pub crawl – there was a bit of everything. Many visiting students also used the university’s offer to attend an intensive German class. The Newcomer Service helps facilitate that everyone feels at home in Bremen and at the university as quickly as possible in order to start studying successfully once classes have started.
