Students: Incomings

Welcome at the Faculty of Law!

We currently have partnerships with 47 universities in 21 countries. If you would like to study at our faculty as an exchange student within the framework of  Erasmus+ or one of our partnerships outside Europe, please apply to your home university as the first step. If you are accepted, the responsible International Officer of your home university will nominate you for studies at the University of Bremen. You will then receive an e-mail from our International Office with all the information required for your subsequent online application to the University of Bremen.

If there is as yet no partnership agreement with your university or your faculty, please contact the responsible Coordinator of your home university or International Officers of our faculty - if both sides are interested, there is always the possiblity of a new partnership agreement being concluded.

You may also apply directly to the University Bremen for acceptance as a visiting student (free mover).

More information about applications from abroad, preparatory studies, undergraduate studies or study opportunities for refugees can be found on these pages:
