About the university
Constructor University is a private, state-recognized, English-speaking university in Bremen, Germany. The university is located on a green campus around 17 km from Bremen city center and brings together study, research and student life in one integrated setting. For international applicants, this means a campus-based academic environment where teaching, accommodation and everyday student life are closely connected.
Academic profile and study options
The university offers degree paths from bachelor's and master's programs to PhD studies, as well as a preparatory International Foundation Year. Academic fields include natural sciences, mathematics, engineering, computer science, social sciences and economics. Undergraduate programs are English-taught and interdisciplinary, while master's programs are designed with a research-oriented approach and include both on-campus and selected online formats.
A characteristic feature of Constructor University is its compact academic structure. Small class sizes, close advising and early involvement in research are central elements of the learning model. In undergraduate study in particular, students benefit from personal academic guidance and a study environment that supports independent thinking as well as interdisciplinary learning.
Campus life and international environment
The campus covers 34 hectares and includes teaching and research buildings, modern facilities and around 5,600 square meters of laboratory space. Students live on campus in one of four residential colleges, which helps create an active student community and a structured daily routine. This residential model is especially attractive for students who want a clear transition into university life in Germany.
English is the language of teaching and research, and the university presents itself as an international academic community with students from around the world. This makes Constructor University particularly visible to applicants who want to study in Germany without immediately switching into a fully German-language study environment.
