Mark Monday 30th September 2013 in your diary if you’re interested in sport: From 7 o’clock in the morning you can register for any of the 500 courses offered by University Sports at the University of Bremen. During the cold season, some 8,000 people in Bremen participate in the varied program. When you register this year, instead of account number and sort code you must include your IBAN (International Bank Account Number) and BIC (European Business Identifier Code). “For technical reasons we have to introduce the new European transfer system a little before it becomes mandatory in Germany on 1st February 2014”, explains Klaus Achilles from University Sport.

University Sport started when the University was founded more than 40 years ago. In those days, it was considered a trailblazer to invite citizens to participate along with students and employees of the University. Especially popular sport activities on offer are swimming for children, aqua fitness, and the “Zumba” Latin American aerobic dance.
