No Constructor page and not the Admission and Enrollment Policy mentions the APS certificate (Akademische Prüfstelle, New Delhi) for Indian applicants; it is not among the listed application or enrolment documents. Indian applicants still need APS for the student visa, but Constructor does not say when.

Studienkolleg

None

“As an alternative, undergraduate applicants may also take the Constructor University entrance examination to receive a subject-related entrance qualification (fachgebundene Hochschulreife). The prerequisite for admission to the entrance examination is the proof of a Test-AS result of at least 190 points. To be admitted to Bachelor studies, applicants have to successfully pass the entrance examination with at least 45%.”

Constructor runs no Studienkolleg but holds its own entrance examination for applicants qualified abroad and four pre-degree programmes that prepare for it: International Foundation Year, English Foundation Year, Gateway Year and the one-semester Pre-Bachelor Semester. Constructor states that other federal states may, but need not, recognise these routes as equivalent to a Studienkolleg qualification.

Tuition for non-EU students

Tuition does not depend on citizenship: all students pay €11,925 per semester for an on-campus bachelor's, master's or MBA programme from the 2027 intake, and €5,000 per academic year for the online B.Sc. Applied Computer Science. Only the one-time enrolment fee differs, €640 for EU and €940 for non-EU students. Every admitted student is automatically considered for an academic achievement scholarship and for a tuition deferral, so the listed amounts are list prices before any reduction.

State recognition

Private, state-recognised university in the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen, run by Constructor University Bremen gGmbH, a non-profit limited company (Commercial Register Bremen Local Court, HRB 18117). Founded in 1999 as International University Bremen, renamed Jacobs University Bremen in 2007 and Constructor University in 2022. State recognition was granted preliminarily in 1999, in full in 2004, renewed in 2010 and 2018, and granted without a time limit in 2021.

“As a non-public/private university, Constructor University required a state accreditation of the City State of Bremen, which was preliminarily granted in 1999. … Following their fulfillment, the university received full state recognition in 2004. Its accreditation was renewed by the Wissenschaftsrat in 2008 and, after the relevant conditions were met, state recognition was renewed in 2010 and 2018. Having fulfilled the requirements associated with the 2018 recognition, Constructor University was granted unlimited state recognition in 2021.”

Institutional accreditation

Institutional accreditation by the Wissenschaftsrat (German Science and Humanities Council): first granted in 2001 as International University Bremen (positive for 5 years) and renewed in 2008 as Jacobs University Bremen (positive for 10 years). The Wissenschaftsrat list of completed accreditation procedures, status October 2026, shows no later procedure for the institution. In addition, Constructor University has been system accredited since 1 February 2026, with an accreditation cycle running until 31 January 2034; as a system-accredited university it accredits its own study programmes and awards the Accreditation Council's seal.
