Jacobs University International Foundation Year Program
University Preparation for International High School Graduates
Jacobs University (a private, international university in Bremen, Germany with
English-language instruction) offers an International Foundation Year for students who would like to gain the qualifications necessary for undergraduate studies in an
English-speaking university. The program also provides participants with fundamental subject orientation to support them in the decision of their ultimate course of study. The academic program (September 2011 – May 2012) specifically supports students in becoming more confident in their language, subject and study skills while they live and learn on campus with students from over 100 nations.
Participants are thoroughly prepared for the college admissions test SAT and can choose between foundation tracks in engineering, natural sciences or economics. All courses are instructed in English. Attractive excursions throughout the region and
Europe (for example Berlin, Brussels and Barcelona) allow a broader glance into
European culture. Students may also apply for a German host family, who will help the student integrate into life in Bremen.
Especially qualified students have the option of visiting regular, university-level seminars and lectures. These courses are worth ECTS credits that can be transferred to participants’ future universities. Students who successfully complete the Foundation Year will be granted admission into a Jacobs Bachelor program or can apply to other English-speaking institutions worldwide.
Applications are being accepted online now through June 15th on the Foundation
Year Admission page.
