All programs are taught in English. FOUNDATION YEAR The Foundation Year is a tailor-made, one-year preparatory program: Students can explore different fields of study ranging from engineering, computer science, natural sciences, social sciences to economics, and management. Thereby students acquire academic skills before starting a university degree and earn ECTS credit points that can be transferred to their future study program. FOUNDATION YEAR (Pre-Degree Program) UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS Jacobs University’s challenging three-year undergraduate programs prepare students for a successful academic and professional career. Students can study a major and a minor and even have the possibility to change their major in their first year of studies. All undergraduate programs offer students a flexible and broad choice of core curriculum and electives to help them fulfill their academic goals. UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS (BA; BSc) GRADUATE PROGRAMS At the graduate level, students deepen their knowledge on a given subject, sharpen their academic profile and further specialize in an area of their academic field. All programs comprise diverse learning platforms including lectures, seminars, workshops, laboratory trainings, and excursions. GRADUATE PROGRAMS (MA; MSc) TEACHING AND LEARNING At Jacobs University, class sizes are small and for each student a professor acts as a personal mentor and academic advisor. An interdisciplinary approach is one of the core elements of a Jacobs University education. Study modules cover various aspects of academic fields, reflecting the complex nature of interconnected topics and global challenges. Students are introduced to numerous methodologies and are encouraged to apply a problem-based approach and a global perspective to their work. RESEARCH EXPERIENCE The university’s research-oriented approach engages students in the research process at an early stage in their academic career, while providing them access to modern facilities and state-of-the-art technology. INTERDISCIPLINARY EDUCATION The unique Jacobs Track runs parallel to all our three-year undergraduate programs. It offers a broad range of courses designed to provide a well-rounded education. This includes modules in research methods, language, and career skills, as well as courses relevant to current developments in society, technology, and business. You also have the opportunity to personalize your study program by picking courses, which are of interest to you.  WORLD TRACK In the fifth semester, undergraduate students have the chance to either do an extensive internship, or spend a semester abroad at one of our many partner universities worldwide. This is a fantastic opportunity to broaden linguistic, cultural, and social horizons, and excel in a new professional or academic environment.
