Campus Bremen – Making the Managers of Tomorrow
Part three of our five-part seriesThey are in their early twenties: the next generation of leaders for Germany's economy. Just to get into the Jacobs University in Bremen, you have to have an impressive CV. The best exam results and references are only part of the picture. "Interest in the outside world, other people, and other cultures is just as important", says university head Joachim Treusch. Communication skills are important here, as only a quarter of the students come from Germany. Undergraduates from 90 different countries work and live together here, with financial support available to those who can't afford the fees. It's an intense experience, with ten hours a day devoted to classes or studying, even at the weekend. In addition, most students take advantage of extra-curricula clubs and activities, ranging from astronomy to oriental dance. Wolf Gebhardt and Michael Wetzel follow the fortunes of three students- Yetunde, Devashish and Jan. The third episode sees our students grappling with business networking, exams and scientific presentations, before dancing the night away.
