Interesting city
Jacobs University is located in the northern districts of the
city-state of Bremen. Founded approximately 1,200 years ago,
Bremen is home to over 500,000 inhabitants and represents the
smallest state (Bundesland) in Germany. Bremen is known for trade
and commerce, having established itself as a hanseatic city during
the middle ages. Close to the North Sea, the city is known for its
shipping industry, together with the port of Bremerhaven 70km
away.
There are three main institutions for higher learning in Bremen, including the Hochschule Bremen, the University of Bremen and Jacobs University. Altogether over 25,000 students study in the region, which of course has an effect on off-campus life for Jacobs University students. There are many restaurants, pubs, clubs, museums, theaters and other venues for students to explore. Besides Jacobs University campus life, there are many concerts, shows and parties taking place weekly. Volunteers at our Student Service Center will be happy to translate events magazines and give you tips on where to go.
