Stud.IP
The University of Bremen uses the learning and course management system Stud.IP (Study Accompanying Internet Support of Classroom Teaching). The registration requires the username and password of the account given by the Center for Networks (ZfN) for e-mail and other network services. Students receive an activation code and an activation password with their enrollment documents. At the beginning of the semester you should register for your courses via Stud.IP. Here there are course materials and announcements from teachers. Students can also manage their timetable, use discussion forums, access the bulletin board, and much more.
Internship
Internships are generally recommended for students. They are carried out via the major subject. However, information on internships is also provided by the Faculty of Business Studies and Economics. When looking for internships, students are supported by the Career Center of the University of Bremen and, in the case of economics topics, also by the Faculty's Office for Practice and Transfer. Further information on internships can be found in the Practice and Transfer section.
Semester Abroad
Semesters abroad are not compulsory; however, they are recommended. The best time to spend a semester abroad is determined by the course of study in the major subject.
