Bachelor Program Marine Geosciencesa
Application

Application Process

You are interested in marine science and would like to study marine geosciences? We are very pleased and would like to give you a few hints for the application. First-year and advanced students must apply online. The application for bachelor programs at the University of Bremen is a two-step process:

1. All applicants need an application identification number BID and an application authentication number BAN. You will receive BID and BAN with the registration at

2. after that a registration at the University of Bremen is required (only if you are not yet enrolled at the University of Bremen and thus already have login data). It is done online via the application portal

International Applicants

You are coming from abroad and want to apply for the Bachelor`s program in Marine Geosciences at the University of Bremen? Please note the following information on application:

Application Deadlines

Winter semester: May until July 15.
Summer semester: between December 01 until January 15
Since summer semester 2024 first-year students will be admitted also to the summer semester.

Language certificates English B2 and German A1: until September 15 or January 15 (for applications to the summer semester)
Those who obtained their school-leaving certificate in German or English do not need to submit a language certificate in this language. High school diplomas showing the language level English B2 are recognized as proof of language proficiency. Other recognized language certificates can be found on the right under Information.

Application for Advanced Students

Advanced students who were already enrolled in a degree program in Geosciences or Marine Science for at least one semester or have transferable academic records, can apply for admission and enrollment in the second semester. Recognition of study periods and records will be evaluated by the

Self-Assessment Test Geosciences

To study marine geosciences requires good basics in natural sciences. Our self-assessment test for prospective students offer the possibility to check in various small tasks, whether you meet the requirements or not.

MINTFIT tests in Math, Physics and Chemistry

Not sure whether you have the necessary knowledge in Science or Maths? MINTFIT offers you the opportunity to test your knowledge and also provides suggestions for preparatory courses.

Preparatory Course in Maths: OMB+

With the online-course OMB+, you can optimally prepare for study programs with integrated compulsory mathematic modules. Twelve German universities have worked together to create the concept and content. From more than 20 universities - among others the University of Bremen - is

recommended as preparation for university studies.

Preparatory Course Physics

The online course in physics is recommended as a preparatory tool before the studies as well as a supporting offer during the first semesters. The offer is free of charge and accessible without registration on the internet at

The selection of topics in this course is oriented toward an engineering study program and is thus more comprehensive and profound than for a geosciences course. Four chapters introduce basic topics in physics that are important for the first semesters of a science or engineering major: Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Optics, and Thermodynamics. The lesson texts are supplemented by illustrative examples, instructional videos, illustrations of experiments, and interactive applets. Exercises allow students to review and reinforce what they have learned. In addition, course participants can take initial and final tests in the respective modules - so they can track their learning progress and work on gaps in their knowledge independently. The course is only offered in German.
