Studierwerkstatt

Study centers

The subject-specific study centers are the central point of contact for students in matters to do with planning their studies and examination regulations. As a rule, they can also advise and assist students planning to spend time studying abroad. In individual cases, the study centers are also a contact point for program counseling and recognition of examinations. The study center also collects all information that is important for studies and forwards inquiries.

Career orientation and counseling

Praxisbörse

The Praxisbörse (job exchange) organized by the University of Bremen is a great opportunity for students to make contact with businesses and institutions. Once a year in the summer semester, employers come to the campus to introduce themselves. Students can seek direct talks with HR decision-makers or prepare for contact with practitioners in job-application workshops and application portfolio checks. All offers for students and visitors are free of charge.

Career Center

The Career Center is a joint institution of the University of Bremen and the Bremen Employment Agency Bremen-Bremerhaven. Students who want to prepare for career entry during their studies, graduates and academic staff on their way to a professional career all find support in the Career Center.

Combining studies and family

Since 2007, the University of Bremen has been actively committed to a family-friendly university. The overarching aim is to make it possible for students and employees to reconcile studies, science and work with caring for children or relatives. There are various counseling facilities.

Studying with disabilities

Student finances

The social counseling services of the Studentenwerk (student services bureau) and the AStA support and advise German and international students on financial issues. There is also information on BAföG, scholarships, tuition fees for long-term students, and job opportunities.

ADE – Counseling in Cases of Discrimination and Conflict

The ADE is for students who need support in dealing with conflicts, feel discriminated against or have experienced violence. This includes experiences of bullying, sexual harassment or stalking. The counseling is confidential.

Psychological-Therapeutic Counseling Center

The Psychological-Therapeutic Counseling Center of the Studentenwerk Bremen actively helps with personal or study-related problems. Centrally located below the refectory, private talks on matters such as examination anxiety or in times of crisis should provide a ray of light.
