About IUB
Jacobs University Bremen (IUB) — private non-profit university. It is located in Bremen, Germany. The higher education institution was founded not so long ago — in 2001.
The educational institution is in 401 position of Times Higher Education World University Ranking (THE).
IUB does research in different fields of study and offers bachelor and master programs.
The academic calendar at IUB is divided into two semesters, as in many other universities in Germany. For convenience, tuition fees are calculated per year. At IUB, tuition fees are equal for everyone — from 5,648 USD per year. The university provides tuition assistance to some students through financial aid programs. They are available to both locals and foreigners. The exact cost of programs and information on the availability of scholarships can be found on the website of the university.
Also, be prepared for additional expenses: accommodation, transportation, study materials, meals and personal expenses.
Schooling in Germany lasts longer than in other countries. Therefore, it is impossible to enter a university immediately after the 11th grade — first, you need to eliminate the academic difference. There are special educational institutions for foreign students — Studienkollegs. Before submitting documents to the university, applicants take an English language exam. The university accepts the results of IELTS or TOEFL. The minimum IELTS score is 4.5. The TOEFL score is not lower than 45.

IUB campus
The educational institution has a suburban campus. This means that students study close to a big city and can quickly get to it by public transport. At the same time, this location allows you to create a close-knit student community, since all events are held on campus. The university has a library, in the collection of which you will find not only textbooks and scientific works, but also works of the classics, modern literature and much more. Foreigners who come to IUB through exchange programs study and live with local students. Thus, the university promotes intercultural exchange and the establishment of interethnic relations.
It is possible to stay in Germany for an additional 18 months after graduation. To do this, you need to apply for a graduate visa, which allows you to work without providing an offer from an employer. We talk about other options for immigration in our article.
