Bremen, one of northern Germany's historic Hanseatic cities, has a charming atmosphere with its UNESCO-listed market square, the Town Musicians statue and the narrow lanes of the Schnoor quarter. Also known for its aerospace industry, it offers a student-friendly lifestyle.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in Bremen:
In Bremen you can book courses of as little as one week. On an intensive program, one German level usually takes 6-8 weeks. A complete beginner typically needs 6-12 months to reach the B2-C1 level required for university.
The biggest factor in the price is the length of your booking: the weekly fee drops noticeably for bookings of 12 weeks or more. Winter is usually cheaper than the summer months. NGGlobal students can take advantage of the schools' seasonal discounts and offers.
At most language schools courses start every Monday, though complete beginner courses may have set start dates. For long programs that require a visa, we recommend applying at least 3 months ahead. Summer is the busiest period.
Short courses can be taken on a Schengen visa. Programs longer than three months require a German language course visa (national visa), which calls for enrolment in an intensive course of at least 18 hours a week, proof of funds through a blocked account or an obligation letter, and health insurance. Applications in Turkey are made by appointment.
Students who come for a long-term language course on a national visa may work up to 20 hours a week. Cafés, restaurants, retail and logistics are the sectors where students most often find jobs. Those on a Schengen visa cannot work.
Rent in Bremen is cheaper than in Hamburg or Munich, and homestays and student houses are relatively easy to find.
Bremen is one of the most affordable of Germany's big cities. Rent and daily expenses are lower than in other major cities in northern Germany.
Bremen has an extensive tram network and bus routes, and since the city is flat, cycling is very common. The €63 monthly Deutschlandticket is also valid on regional trains.
Bremen has a mild maritime climate; winters are not severe and summers are cool. Rain and wind are frequent throughout the year.
Bremen Airport (BRE) may have seasonal direct flights from Turkey; at other times you can connect via Hamburg or Frankfurt. The airport is about 15 minutes from the city centre by tram.
Because Germany uses daylight saving time, the time difference changes with the season: from late March to late October Bremen is 1 hour behind Turkey, and in winter it is 2 hours behind.
