Constructor University, formerly known as Jacobs University Bremen, is a private university located in Bremen, Germany. Established in 2001, it operates as an independent, English-language institution focused on research and interdisciplinary education.
Though it follows the German higher education framework, it is funded primarily through tuition fees, private donations, and research grants rather than state funding. This distinguishes it from public universities in Germany, which are government-funded and typically charge minimal or no tuition fees.
