Jacobs University Bremen is a private, English-language research university located in Bremen, Germany. Founded in 2001, it operates as an independent, non-profit institution with a strong international focus. Unlike public universities in Germany, which are government-funded, Jacobs University relies on tuition fees, private donations, and research grants for funding.
The university offers undergraduate and graduate programs across disciplines like natural sciences, engineering, and social sciences. While it follows the German higher education framework, its private status allows greater autonomy in curriculum design and admissions. It is accredited by the German Council of Science and Humanities.
