The semester has already started, and the final enrollment numbers for all students are available. In the current winter semester, 3,156 students enrolled in undergraduate (mostly bachelor’s) degree programs. This is 62 more than in the 2023/24 winter semester. There were 1,312 enrollments in master’s degree programs, which is 80 more than last year. In addition, the University of Bremen opened enrollment to first-semester students for the summer semester 2024 for the first time. This resulted in an additional 350 first-semester students being able to enroll. That means in 2024, the University of Bremen saw a significant increase in first-semester enrollment, with 492 more students than in 2023.
“These encouraging figures show that the University of Bremen has an attractive and contemporary portfolio of courses for prospective students,” states Jutta Günther, President of the University of Bremen. “This includes not only established degree programs such as Law, Business Studies, and teacher training, but also innovative new courses in the fields of AI and sustainability.”
The most undergraduate enrollments were in Law, Business Administration, and Computer Science as well as teacher training programs. Most of the first-year master's students enrolled in the Transnational Law program, in Business Administration, and Computer Science programs.
New Degree Programs in English Are Popular
Additionally, there was a large number of applications for the two degree programs in English language offered for the first time this winter semester. In the “Natural Sciences for Sustainability” bachelor’s program, students deal with sustainability topics from a biological, physical, and geoscientific perspective. The “Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Systems” program teaches students about theory and practical applications of artificial intelligence.
High Number of International Students
The figures clearly show that the University of Bremen is in high demand among international students. Nine percent of undergraduates have indicated a nationality other than German as their first nationality. Students with Turkish, Chinese, and Ukrainian citizenship are particularly well represented here. Among first-year students in master’s programs, as many as 33 percent have a citizenship other than German. They come from 70 different nations, especially from India, Turkey, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Ghana.
