The Bremen University of Applied Sciences (German: Hochschule Bremen) is a public Fachhochschule, a University of Applied Sciences, located in Bremen, Germany. In 1982, this University evolved from the fusion of four Universities of Applied Sciences: the Universities for technology, business, social pedagogy and social economy, and nautics.
The history of the Hochschule Bremen – City University of Applied Sciences (HSB) traces back to the foundation of the Technikum, a School for Civil Engineering and Shipping in 1894 and the foundation of the Social Women's' School, the first School of Social Work in Bremen in 1918.
HSB is a member of the UAS7 (Seven Universities of Applied Sciences) network that forms a strategic alliance of seven leading German Universities of Applied Sciences in teaching and research.
Campuses
The HSB is located at several sites. The central site, with the head office, faculty of Social Sciences and parts of the engineering degree programmes and natural sciences, is located in Bremen Neustadt in the street Neustadtswall. The International Graduate School is situated next to it in the Langemarckstraße. The programmes of the Healthcare sector (Nursery, Widwifery, Logopedics, Physiotherapy) are located in the city center of Bremen at 'Am Brill. The Faculty School of International Business can be found at the site Werderstraße. A further site is located near the Bremen Airport (Airportstadt) where the Center of Computer Science and Media Studies as well as the Institute of Aerospace Technology are arranged.
Study
Around 8.800 students of 69 degree courses (thereof 43 Bachelor-/26 Master's degree courses) in five faculties are matriculated at the HSB in the academic year 2018/18. More than 40 degree courses consist of an obligatory stay abroad being composed of a study and internship abroad. Further attributes of these international degree courses are the language courses of a foreign language as well as the multilingualism of many other courses and also the cooperation with around 300 foreign universities in 2008.
Being practically oriented is another characteristic of all degree courses of the HSB which is reflected in the obligatory internship phases. Further more the students are included in many research projects. In 2004, the HSB founded the International Graduate Center (IGC) for being able to provide extra-occupational and full-time post-graduate degrees. The master's degrees are offered predominantly in the domain Management which will end in the degree Master of Arts (M.A.) or Master of Business Administration (MBA).
= International Days
=
Once a year the International Days take place at the Hochschule Bremen – City University of Applied Sciences. This event takes two days and is organized by students of the 7th semester of the School of International Business, together with exchange students.
The students portray their impressions and experiences which they have made during their stay abroad in the 5th and 6th semester. This is made through information stands, presentations, pictures and culinary specialities. Besides the students are in attendance to answer questions which may be asked by other students or other interested parties. Also exchange students from African, European and South American countries present their home countries on nicely decorated stands and support the students of the 7th semester.
This event can be seen as a communication platform for the students of lower semesters, who still have to complete their semester abroad, but it is accessible for every interested person, too. The International Days are a good opportunity to get important and interesting information that may help them to take their decision for the destination of their semester abroad. Additionally it is a possibility to collect contacts e.g. for house hunting and internships.
Also presentations about financing possibilities as well as about the different education systems in foreign countries are given by external companies and organisations.
